Operations

Inspect, back up, install, update, and verify local Claw instances.

Claw includes operational commands because identities and workflows need to be inspectable, portable, and recoverable.

Useful Commands

claw doctor
claw status
claw setup --yes
claw profile backup
claw profile restore work-claw.zip --reset
claw self update --check

What Backups Include

Profile backups include durable profile state: config, AGENTS/SOUL files, agents, skills, registered CLIs, memory, task ledger, channel links, and cron jobs. They exclude session transcripts, web outbox, cron run logs, extension registry/runtime state, and binaries.
