What this skill does

The tool can inspect the current art, apply preset or custom colors, add arms or other ASCII-art variants, and restore the original. It patches installed Claude Code program files and may affect CLI behavior; version changes can also cause a patch to match incorrectly. Verify the target path, back up first, use a dry run, test afterward, and prepare a restore path.

# Clawd Modifier

Customize the Claude Code mascot's appearance by modifying colors and ASCII art.

## Quick Reference

Show all (102 lines)


**CLI location**: `/opt/node22/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js`

**Clawd colors**:
- Body: `rgb(215,119,87)` / `ansi:redBright`
- Background: `rgb(0,0,0)` / `ansi:black`

**Small Clawd** (prompt):
```
 ▐▛███▜▌
▝▜█████▛▘
  ▘▘ ▝▝
```

## Workflows

### Change Clawd's Color

Use `scripts/patch_color.py`:

```bash
# List available colors
python scripts/patch_color.py --list

# Apply preset
python scripts/patch_color.py blue

# Custom RGB
python scripts/patch_color.py --rgb 100,200,150

# Restore original
python scripts/patch_color.py --restore
```

### Add Arms or Modify Art

Use `scripts/patch_art.py`:

```bash
# List variants
python scripts/patch_art.py --list

# Add arms
python scripts/patch_art.py --variant with-arms

# Individual modifications
python scripts/patch_art.py --add-left-arm
python scripts/patch_art.py --add-right-arm

# Restore original
python scripts/patch_art.py --restore
```

### Extract Current Clawd

Use `scripts/extract_clawd.py` to see current state:

```bash
python scripts/extract_clawd.py
```

### Manual Modifications

For custom changes not covered by scripts, edit cli.js directly:

1. Backup: `cp cli.js cli.js.bak`
2. Find patterns with grep
3. Use sed or text editor to replace
4. Test by running `claude`

Pattern examples:
```bash
# Find color definitions
grep -o 'clawd_body:"[^"]*"' cli.js | head -5

# Replace color
sed -i 's/rgb(215,119,87)/rgb(100,149,237)/g' cli.js
```
