⚡ claw-plus-plus - Fast AI coding in your terminal

🖥️ What this app is

claw-plus-plus is a desktop terminal app for AI coding help. It runs on Windows and helps you work with code from a command line window.

• ask an AI to help write code
• edit files from the terminal
• keep a session open and return to it later
• switch between AI providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ollama
• use built-in tools without setting up a separate system

It is built in modern C++23 and designed for fast use in a terminal window.

You can use:

• Anthropic
• OpenAI
• Ollama

For most users, the setup has three parts:

1. Pick the provider you want to use.
2. Enter your API key if the provider needs one.
3. Save your settings.

If you use Ollama, make sure the local Ollama app is running first.

⌨️ How to use it

claw-plus-plus opens in a terminal. You type commands and the app responds.

Common things you can do:

• ask it to explain code
• ask it to write new code
• ask it to change a file
• ask it to check for mistakes
• ask it to help with small fixes

A simple flow looks like this:

1. Open the app.
2. Start a new session or continue an old one.
3. Type what you want help with.
4. Review the result.
5. Save your work when you are done.

🧰 Built-in tools

claw-plus-plus includes tools that help with coding tasks inside the app.

These tools can help with:

• reading files
• editing files
• searching content
• running commands
• checking project structure
• keeping track of session state
• moving through longer tasks
• working across multiple files
• handling repeated steps

This keeps the work in one place instead of switching between many apps.

💾 Session persistence

The app can save your session so you can return later.

That means you can:

• close the app
• open it again later
• keep your task history
• continue where you left off

This is useful for larger coding tasks that take more than one sitting.

🔌 Supported AI providers

claw-plus-plus works with more than one AI source.

Anthropic

Use this if you have an Anthropic account and want Claude-based help.

OpenAI

Use this if you want to connect to OpenAI models.

Ollama

Use this if you want to run local models on your computer.

You can pick the provider that fits your setup and budget.

🧾 System needs

For a smooth experience on Windows, use a system with:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• a modern 64-bit processor
• at least 8 GB of memory
• enough free space for the app and your project files
