CLI Command Reference

seekclaw_cli is SeekClaw's terminal client and also provides the seekclaw.exe daemon entry point used by the packaged Runtime. Desktop users normally do not run these commands manually, but CLI and Desktop use the same global configuration and session format.

For a source checkout, replace seekclaw in the examples with dotnet run --project seekclaw_cli --.

Conversation

# Interactive mode (equivalent forms)
seekclaw
seekclaw chat

# One-shot task
seekclaw "Analyze this project and fix the tests"

# Continue the newest Session in this workspace
seekclaw --continue
seekclaw chat --continue

# Resume a specific Session
seekclaw --resume <session-id>

# Override the model for this run without changing the stored Profile
seekclaw --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5" "Review the authentication code"

During interactive use, the first Ctrl+C cancels the active turn. Use it again while idle to exit.

Archiving, archive restoration, and deletion are currently exposed through Desktop or the Daemon IPC session.* administration methods.

mcp test connects to every enabled server and reports the number of discovered tools.

Daemon

seekclaw daemon

The Windows endpoint is fixed at \\.\pipe\seekclaw; Linux and macOS use ~/.seekclaw/daemon.sock. The Daemon has no custom --pipe option. Desktop starts and stops its managed Daemon automatically, so manual execution is mainly useful for protocol development and debugging.

See Daemon and IPC 2.1 for the method contract.
