• Desktop mode: Tauri spawns a Bun sidecar process; WebView loads the frontend
• Web mode: Vite frontend + Bun backend deployed independently
• Three-layer design: Entry (Telegram/DingTalk/Feishu/QQ/WeCom/Web/API) → Core (Agent/Scheduler/Memory/Skills) → Storage (SQLite/filesystem)

Before Quick Start: Star if you want to see YouClaw keep improving.
It is a small click that makes the project easier to sustain.

Quick Start (Development)

Prerequisites

• Bun >= 1.1
• Rust (for Tauri desktop build)
• A model API key for your chosen provider

Setup

git clone https://github.com/CodePhiliaX/youClaw.git
cd youClaw

# Install dependencies
bun install
cd web && bun install && cd ..

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set MODEL_API_KEY

Web Mode

# Terminal 1 — backend
bun dev

# Terminal 2 — frontend
bun dev:web

Open http://localhost:5173 · API at http://localhost:62601

Desktop Mode (Tauri)

bun dev:tauri

Build Desktop App

bun build:tauri

Output: src-tauri/target/release/bundle/ (DMG / MSI / AppImage)

Commands

bun dev              # Backend dev server (hot reload)
bun dev:web          # Frontend dev server
bun dev:tauri        # Tauri dev mode (frontend + backend + WebView)
bun start            # Production backend
bun typecheck        # TypeScript type check
bun test             # Run tests
bun build:sidecar    # Compile Bun sidecar binary
bun build:tauri      # Build Tauri desktop app
bun build:tauri:fast # Build without bundling (faster dev builds)
bun test:e2e         # Run E2E tests (Playwright)
bun test:e2e:ui      # Run E2E tests with UI
