Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00024 | $0.02629 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01314 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00526 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00263 |
Grade C, and why
setup-dashclaw scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Set Up DashClaw
Three ways to get DashClaw running, plus CLI and Claude Code hook setup.
Instance Setup
Option 1: Local Development
# Clone the repo
git clone [email protected]:ucsandman/DashClaw.git
cd DashClaw
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run interactive setup (creates .env, initializes database)
node scripts/setup.mjs
# Start dev server
npm run dev
# → http://localhost:3000
Required environment variables (.env):
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/dashclaw
ENCRYPTION_KEY=<32-char-random-string>
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=<32-char-random-string>
DASHCLAW_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
DASHCLAW_MODE=self_host
Option 2: Cloud (Vercel + Neon)
- Fork the DashClaw repo on GitHub
- Deploy to Vercel (connect the fork)
- Create a free Neon Postgres database
- Set
DATABASE_URLin Vercel environment variables - Run
node scripts/setup.mjslocally pointing to your cloud instance - Grab your API key from the dashboard
Option 3: Demo Mode
npx dashclaw-demo
# Runs a local demo instance with fixture data
# Opens Decision Replay automatically
# Agent attempts risky deployment, DashClaw blocks it
Demo mode is read-only — no writes allowed. Good for exploring the UI.
Verify Setup
# Health check
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
# Expected response:
# { "status": "ok", "database": "connected", "version": "2.x.x" }
Visit http://localhost:3000/setup for the instance readiness verification page.
CLI Installation
The @dashclaw/cli provides terminal-based approval workflows.
Install
npm install -g @dashclaw/cli
Configure
export DASHCLAW_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
export DASHCLAW_API_KEY=your-api-key
# Optional: export DASHCLAW_AGENT_ID=cli-operator
Commands
# Interactive approval inbox (TUI with live updates)
dashclaw approvals
# Approve a specific action
dashclaw approve act_abc123 --reason "Reviewed and safe"
# Deny a specific action
dashclaw deny act_abc123 --reason "Risk too high for current sprint"
# Help
dashclaw help
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 3d ago First seen · 299 lines · 24 tokens per session scan C 1dfb014ce458
setup-dashclaw is a skill published in the GitHub repository ucsandman/DashClaw (296 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,629 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
