PARITY.md and the current Rust CLI UX both pointed at session-management polish as a worthwhile parity lane. The existing /clear flow reset the live REPL without telling the user how to get back, and the resumed /clear path overwrote the saved session file in place with no recovery handle. This change keeps the existing clear semantics but makes them safer and more legible. Live clears now print the previous session id and a resume hint, while resumed clears write a sibling backup before resetting the requested session file and report both the backup path and the new session id. Constraint: Keep /clear compatible with follow-on commands in the same --resume invocation Rejected: Switch resumed /clear to a brand-new primary session path | would break the expected in-place reset semantics for chained resume commands Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Directive: Preserve explicit recovery hints in /clear output if session lifecycle behavior changes again Tested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --test resume_slash_commands Tested: cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml -p rusty-claude-cli --bin claw clear_command_requires_explicit_confirmation_flag Not-tested: Manual interactive REPL /clear run
🦞 Claw Code — Rust Implementation
A high-performance Rust rewrite of the Claw Code CLI agent harness. Built for speed, safety, and native tool execution.
Quick Start
# Build
cd rust/
cargo build --release
# Run interactive REPL
./target/release/claw
# One-shot prompt
./target/release/claw prompt "explain this codebase"
# With specific model
./target/release/claw --model sonnet prompt "fix the bug in main.rs"
Configuration
Set your API credentials:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Or use a proxy
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://your-proxy.com"
Or authenticate via OAuth:
claw login
