ClawBox#

ClawBox — a cloud file system for agents with token-based auth, semantic search, folders, and file sharing.

Setup#

If the CLI is not installed, run the setup script:

bash

bash ClawBoxSkill/scripts/setup.sh

Or manually:

bash

git clone https://github.com/Alfra-AI/clawbox.git
cd clawbox
pip install .
clawbox init

Commands#

bash

clawbox init                                 # Get a token from clawbox.ink
clawbox init --api-url http://localhost:8000  # Self-hosted server
clawbox config --show                        # View current config
clawbox upload <file>                        # Upload a file
clawbox upload <file> --path /docs/file.pdf  # Upload into a folder
clawbox download <file_id>                   # Download by ID
clawbox list                                 # List all files
clawbox list --folder /docs/ --recursive     # List folder contents
clawbox search "query"                       # Semantic search
clawbox embed <file_id>                      # Generate embeddings
clawbox embed --failed                       # Retry failed embeddings
clawbox delete <file_id>                     # Delete a file
clawbox status                               # Check server + token health

Workflow#

1. Check if clawbox is installed. If not, run the setup script.
2. Run clawbox status to verify server connection and token.
3. If no token, run clawbox init.
4. Prefer non-destructive inspection before mutation: status, config --show, list.
5. Ask before deletion unless the user explicitly requested it.
6. Report key output after each operation: file id, download path, share link, etc.
