Diagnose common tclaw issues. Run checks in order, stop at the first problem found, explain what's wrong and how to fix it. ## 1. Prerequisites ```bash go version # need 1.26+ node --version # need 22+ claude --version # need claude CLI which tclaw # installed? ``` Report any missing with install instructions. ## 2.

Authentication ```bash # Check if Claude OAuth token exists tclaw secret get CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN 2>/dev/null && echo "OAuth token found" || echo "no OAuth token" # Check if API key exists tclaw secret get ANTHROPIC_API_KEY 2>/dev/null && echo "API key found" || echo "no API key" ``` If neither exists, the agent will prompt on first message — but explain this so the user isn't confused. ## 5. Recent logs If the server is running or was recently running: ```bash # Check for cras
