Manage your Clawne
Clawnes improve through small, deliberate changes — not one perfect setup.
Edit a Clawne
Change one thing at a time. The most common updates:
- Tighten the role — if responses drift outside the job, make the role sentence more specific
- Adjust the tone — if responses feel off, update the personality direction before changing anything else
- Add or remove a tool — add only when a specific workflow demonstrates the need; remove if the Clawne uses a tool incorrectly or too eagerly
- Update memory — add entries for preferences that keep repeating; remove entries that no longer apply
Clone a Clawne
Clone when you want to test a variation without affecting the working version, or when one use case has grown into two distinct jobs.
Give the clone a job-specific name immediately. Clawnes named for their role are easier to maintain than ones named for a version.
Archive a Clawne
Archive rather than delete. An archived Clawne preserves its configuration in case you want to reference its role or memory setup later.
Signs it is time to split
- the role sentence requires "and also"
- tone conflicts between different kinds of work
- memory assumptions that contradict each other
Healthy iteration loop
- test with a real task you did last week
- note exactly where the response drifted
- change the smallest thing that would fix it
- retest with the same task
Small, targeted edits beat large rewrites. If a Clawne needs more than three changes at once, it is probably trying to do two jobs.
