claude-connect
Connect Claude to Clawdbot instantly and keep it connected 24/7. Run after setup to link your subscription, then auto-refreshes tokens forever.
What this skill does
# claude-connect
**Connect your Claude subscription to Clawdbot in one step.**
Automatically:
- ✅ Reads Claude OAuth tokens from Keychain
- ✅ Writes them to Clawdbot in proper OAuth format
- ✅ Auto-refreshes every 2 hours (before expiry)
- ✅ Notifies you on success/failure
- ✅ Works with `clawdbot onboard` (fixes OAuth auth-profiles bug)
---
## Quick Start
**1. Install the skill:**
```bash
clawdhub install claude-connect
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
```
**2. Ensure Claude CLI is logged in:**
```bash
claude auth
# Follow the browser login flow
```
**3. Run installer:**
```bash
./install.sh
```
That's it! Tokens will refresh automatically every 2 hours.

## What It Does
### Fixes `clawdbot onboard` OAuth Bug
When you run `clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli`, it sometimes doesn't properly write OAuth tokens to `auth-profiles.json`.
This skill:
1. Reads OAuth tokens from macOS Keychain (where Claude CLI stores them)
2. Writes them to `~/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json` in **proper OAuth format**:
```json
{
"profiles": {
"anthropic:claude-cli": {
"type": "oauth",
"provider": "anthropic",
"access": "sk-ant-...",
"refresh": "sk-ant-ort...",
"expires": 1234567890
}
}
}
```
3. Sets up auto-refresh (runs every 2 hours via launchd)
4. Keeps your connection alive 24/7
---
## Installation
### Automatic (Recommended)
```bash
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./install.sh
```
The installer will:
- ✅ Verify Claude CLI is set up
- ✅ Create config file
- ✅ Set up auto-refresh job (launchd)
- ✅ Run first refresh to test
### Manual
1. Copy example config:
```bash
cp claude-oauth-refresh-config.example.json claude-oauth-refresh-config.json
```
2. Edit config (optional):
```bash
nano claude-oauth-refresh-config.json
```
3. Test refresh:
```bash
./refresh-token.sh --force
```
4. Install launchd job (optional - for auto-refresh):
```bash
cp com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
```
---
## Configuration
Edit `claude-oauth-refresh-config.json`:
```json
{
"refresh_buffer_minutes": 30,
"log_file": "~/clawd/logs/claude-oauth-refresh.log",
"notifications": {
"on_success": true,
"on_failure": true
},
"notification_target": "YOUR_CHAT_ID"
}
```
**Options:**
- `refresh_buffer_minutes`: Refresh when token has this many minutes left (default: 30)
- `log_file`: Where to log refresh activity
- `notifications.on_success`: Notify on successful refresh (default: true)
- `notifications.on_failure`: Notify on failure (default: true)
- `notification_target`: Your Telegram chat ID (or leave empty to disable)
---
## Usage
### Manual Refresh
```bash
# Refresh now (even if not expired)
./refresh-token.sh --force
# Refresh only if needed
./refresh-token.sh
```
### Check Status
```bash
# View recent logs
tail ~/clawd/logs/claude-oauth-refresh.log
# Check auth profile
cat ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json | jq '.profiles."anthropic:claude-cli"'
# Check Clawdbot status
clawdbot models status
```
### Disable Notifications
Ask Clawdbot:
```
Disable Claude refresh success notifications
```
Or edit config:
```json
{
"notifications": {
"on_success": false,
"on_failure": true
}
}
```
---
## How It Works
### Refresh Process
1. **Read from Keychain:** Gets OAuth tokens from `Claude Code-credentials`
2. **Check Expiry:** Only refreshes if < 30 minutes left (or `--force`)
3. **Call OAuth API:** Gets new access + refresh tokens
4. **Update auth-profiles.json:** Writes proper OAuth format
5. **Update Keychain:** Syncs new tokens back
6. **Restart Gateway:** Picks up new tokens
7. **Notify:** Sends success/failure message (optional)
### Auto-Refresh (launchd)
Runs every 2 hours via `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist`
**Controls:**
```bash
# Stop auto-refresh
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
# Start auto-refresh
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
# Check if running
launchctl list | grep claude
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### OAuth not working after onboard
**Symptom:** `clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli` completes but Clawdbot can't use tokens
**Fix:**
```bash
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./refresh-token.sh --force
```
This will write tokens in proper OAuth format.
### Tokens keep expiring
**Symptom:** Auth keeps failing after 8 hours
**Fix:** Ensure launchd job is running:
```bash
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
launchctl list | grep claude
```
### No tokens in Keychain
**Symptom:** `No 'Claude Code-credentials' entries found`
**Fix:** Log in with Claude CLI:
```bash
claude auth
# Follow browser flow
```
Then run refresh again:
```bash
./refresh-token.sh --force
```
---
## Uninstall
```bash
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./uninstall.sh
```
Or manually:
```bash
# Stop auto-refresh
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.clawdbot.claude-oauth-refresher.plist
# Remove skill
rm -rf ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
```
---
## Upgrade
If you previously installed an older version:
```bash
cd ~/clawd/skills/claude-connect
./validate-update.sh # Check what changed
clawdhub update claude-connect # Update to latest
./install.sh # Re-run installer if needed
```
