CollabClaw 🦞

CollabClaw lets a group of teammates collaborate inside a single Claude Code session. The host runs Claude as usual; teammates connect from their own laptops via a small CLI. Their prompts arrive as [Alice]: … notifications and the host's Claude responds — once, for everyone.

Only the host needs Claude Code. Only the host pays for tokens. Local-first; cross-network is opt-in.

1Install

You need Node.js ≥ 20 on every machine. The host also needs Claude Code.

npm (everyone):

npm install -g collab-claw

Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

  brew tap sankalpgunturi/tap
brew install collab-claw

Then set your name (everyone):

collab-claw set-name Alice

2Host a room

Install the plugin in Claude Code (one-time):

  /plugin marketplace add sankalpgunturi/collab-claw
/plugin install collab-claw

Then start a room from any Claude Code session:

/collab-claw:host

You'll get a join URL like http://10.0.0.42:7474#secret=… to DM to teammates.

3Join a room

From any terminal on a teammate's machine, paste the URL the host sent you:

collab-claw join http://10.0.0.42:7474#secret=...

The host runs /collab-claw:approve <id>, your TUI lights up, and you're in.
