FAQ
Where does the name Clor come from?
Command Line Orchestration Runtime.
What is Clor?
Clor is a CLI that gives your agent claws.
Claws are lightweight subagents you control from your coding agent. They automate work and run on your laptop, Mac mini, or cloud server.
Around them, a toolkit your agent can use anytime, including web research, real email, cloud files, encrypted secrets, image and audio AI, weather, and domain checks.
What is a claw?
A lightweight subagent you control from your coding agent.
Claws use the same MCP servers, CLIs, and tools your agent does, so anything you can ask your agent to do once, a claw can do in the background or on a schedule.
Which agents work with Clor?
Claude Code and Codex are first-class to start.
Works with any modern coding agent that can run a shell command, so Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, OpenCode, and Cline are in the mix too.
Where does my claw actually run?
On whatever machine has the Clor daemon running. Your laptop, a spare Mac mini under your desk, a small cloud VM.
Scheduled runs fire only when that daemon is up.
How is a claw different from a cron job?
Claws are agentic.
A cron job runs a fixed script. A claw runs a real agent with tools, so it can read context, react to what it finds, write to a database, send a real email, and decide what to do next.
A claw can also be a sequence of tasks, each its own agent run, chained in the order you want.
And a claw runs on whatever machine you point it at, your laptop, a Mac mini, a cloud VM, wherever the Clor daemon is up.
How does pricing work?
Pay-as-you-go on prepaid credits. New accounts start with $2 free, no card required. See Pricing.
What about privacy?
See the Privacy Policy.
How do teammates share usage?
Credits belong to the account. Everyone on the team draws from the same balance.
Roles control who can do what (admin, billing, user).
Do I need an API key?
Only if you're calling the Clor API directly from your own code. The agent flow doesn't need one.
If you do, create one on the API Keys page. The full key is shown once, so copy it immediately.
How do I get support?
Email support@clor.com, or open a ticket from your account.
How Clor works
Clor is a CLI you install on the machine you want the work to happen on. Your coding agent calls it as a tool through the Clor plugin. Anything Clor can do, your agent can ask it to do.
A claw is your reusable automation under one name. It bundles an ordered list of tasks, each task running as a real agent with full tool use, or as a bash step for shell-only work. The whole claw shares one personality (system prompt) you set once.
Trigger a claw from your terminal, hand it off to run in the background, or put it on a schedule. The Clor daemon picks it up. Every run is saved so you can tail one in flight or replay one from last week. Pause, edit, or delete anytime.
Using it with your agent
Works with any agent that can run a shell command. Start by installing the CLI on the machine where you want claws to run.
Then install the plugin into your agent. The same command works for every supported agent and is safe to re-run.
clor install pluginClaude Code
The plugin registers slash commands under the /clor prefix. Invoke one directly, or just describe what you want and Claude picks the right one.
/clor check if example.com is up every 5 minutesClaude writes the claw on the schedule you described and starts it running. You can review what it created, edit it, or kill it.
Codex
Codex invokes Clor with a $clor prefix instead of a slash. Same capabilities, same behavior.
$clor check if example.com is up every 5 minutesCodex tasks inside a claw default to a sandboxed working directory, so writes stay scoped to the run.
Any modern coding agent that can run a shell command works.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, OpenCode, and Cline install the plugin the same way (clor install plugin), each following its own convention for how plugins get invoked.
Claude Code and Codex get the most attention to start.
Claws
A claw is your agent, on a name, with a schedule.
The flagship shape is one task, one schedule, one personality. That one task can do a lot, since it's a real agent with full tool use.
Chain multiple tasks when the work needs different runtimes or genuinely independent pieces.
Spin one up from scratch
/clor make a claw called daily-digest that pulls yesterday's Stripe receipts and emails me a summaryRun it right now
/clor run the daily-digest clawPut it on a schedule
/clor run daily-digest every weekday at 9amSchedules can be anything natural, every 5 minutes, daily at 7am, Mondays and Fridays at noon, on a specific date.
Start from something good
/clor show me the claws library and import oneCurated starters you can adopt, rename, and tweak. Browse them at /claws.
Look at what happened
/clor show me the last few runs of daily-digestEvery run is saved. Replay one line by line, or tail one in progress.
Tip on state. Tasks don't share local filesystem state. If something needs to outlive a task, write it to Drive.
Tip on runners. Scheduled and queued claws fire only when the targeted runner's daemon is up. Ask your agent to start it if it's not already.
Inference
Delegate text, images, and audio to whichever model fits the job. One shape for Claude, GPT, Gemini, and ElevenLabs.
Your agent picks the right model without juggling SDKs or keys.
/clor have Claude summarize this changelog in three bullets
/clor generate an isometric illustration of a chess piece carved from obsidian
/clor read this script aloud with ElevenLabs
/clor transcribe meeting.m4aWeb
Search, scrape, parse, screenshot, map, and crawl the live web.
The same shape covers pages, news, images, and videos, so your agent can chase a thread from query to primary source without writing glue.
/clor find the latest SEC S-1 filings
/clor scrape example.com
/clor take a screenshot of news.ycombinator.com
/clor crawl docs.example.comA real IMAP and SMTP inbox. Your agent can read, search, triage, and send mail through Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, or anything else with normal credentials.
Connect once, hand the key to your agent through Secrets, and let a claw work the inbox.
/clor show me emails from the last day
/clor send a quick intro email to founder@startup.comDrive
Cloud file storage with Unix verbs. Personal and shared drives, ACL grants, public links.
Use it as scratch space between tasks, hand files between machines, or share a build with someone.
/clor list what's in my drive
/clor save report.pdf to the shared drive as 2026-q1.pdf
/clor share the 2026-q1.pdf file in my shared driveSecrets
Encrypted JSON secrets, scoped to one user or shared across the account.
A password manager your agent can read at run time without you having to paste anything sensitive into a prompt or log.
/clor store my stripe key as a secret called stripe
/clor use the stripe secret to charge this customer
/clor list my saved secretsNotifications
How your background work reaches you. A claw can drop a message into your inbox when something needs attention or when a long run finishes.
Notify sparingly. One ping at the end of the run when something went wrong, or when you asked for a report.
/clor send me a notification when daily-digest finishes
/clor show me my notifications
/clor mark my notifications as readDomains
Bulk-classify domain names as available, taken, or unknown across hundreds of TLDs. Ask once, get an answer across every extension in seconds.
Good for naming sessions, defensive registration sweeps, or building name generators.
/clor check which TLDs are available for polishedseahorse
/clor check if polishedseahorse is available on com, io, and aiWeather
Weather, air quality, astronomy, marine, and location data.
A small surface, useful when a claw needs to know whether it's clear tonight, what the tide is, or where a zip code sits.
/clor what's the weather forecast for 94043
/clor when's sunset in Mountain View tonightAccount and plugin
