Your DashClaw instance ships with 177+ SDK methods across 29 categories. Every feature works out of the box -- no LLM API key required.
All features are free, self-hosted, and work without any external AI provider. The only optional LLM feature is the llm_judge scorer type in the Evaluation Framework.
Skills are an open standard for giving agents specialized capabilities. Any agent that supports the skill framework can load this skill and become a DashClaw platform expert -- with knowledge of 177+ SDK methods across 29 categories.
Works with Claude Code, and the growing ecosystem of skill-compatible agents.

Full SDK integration with action recording and guard checks
5 scorer types: regex, keywords, numeric range, custom, LLM judge
Template registry with mustache variables and version history
Structured ratings with auto-sentiment and auto-tagging
Multi-framework bundles with evidence packaging
Statistical baselines and z-score deviation alerts
Velocity scoring and 6-level maturity model
Weighted quality profiles and risk templates
Guard rules for cost ceilings and risk thresholds
Auto-discover and import existing agent workspace data
Full-stack scaffold guide for adding new API routes
Generate a DashClaw SDK in any language from OpenAPI
Approve and deny agent actions from the terminal with dashclaw approvals
Govern Claude Code tool calls via PreToolUse and PostToolUse lifecycle hooks
Guided error resolution for auth and rate limits
.claude/skills/ for Claude Code)The installer generates secrets, writes .env.local, installs dependencies, and prints the API key your agents should use.
./install-windows.bat
bash ./install-mac.sh
When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.
If you want cryptographic identity binding, your agent generates a keypair and prints a one-click pairing URL. You approve once (or approve-all).
# Optional: sign actions with a private key DASHCLAW_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=./secrets/cinder-private.jwk # Optional: server-side enforcement (set on the dashboard host) ENFORCE_AGENT_SIGNATURES=true
The goal is: no manual public key uploads. Pairing registers the matching public key automatically.
