Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @masonc15/clawd-modifier
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install clawd-modifier
What This Skill Does
Clawd Modifier lets you customize the Claude Code CLI mascot by changing its colors, adding ASCII art features like arms, or creating custom variants. It works by patching the claude-code CLI's JavaScript bundle using provided Python scripts. Changes persist until the package is updated.
The provided scripts handle binary-safe patching of the minified CLI bundle, avoiding the manual grep-and-sed errors that come with editing cli.js directly.
When to use it
- Changing Clawd to a blue or green color scheme
- Adding arms to the mascot for a custom look
- Applying holiday or seasonal themes to the terminal mascot
- Restoring the original Clawd after experimenting
- Extracting the current ASCII art state to inspect it
