ask-claude
Delegate a task to Claude Code CLI and immediately report the result back in chat. Supports persistent sessions — Claude Code remembers previous context within the same workdir. Use when the user asks to run Claude, delegate a coding task, continue a previous Claude session, or any task benefiting from Claude Code's tools (file editing, code analysis, bash, etc.). ALWAYS run synchronously and ALWAYS include the result in your reply.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/0xmanel/ask-claude-skillAsk Claude — Execute & Report (with persistent sessions)
The Two Modes
New session (default)
Use when starting a fresh task or new topic.
OUTPUT=$(/home/xmanel/.openclaw/workspace/run-claude.sh "prompt" "/workdir")
echo "$OUTPUT"
Continue session (--continue)
Use when the user is following up on a previous Claude task in the same workdir. Claude Code will have full memory of what was done before — files read, edits made, context gathered.
OUTPUT=$(/home/xmanel/.openclaw/workspace/run-claude.sh --continue "prompt" "/workdir")
echo "$OUTPUT"
When to use --continue
Use --continue when the user says things like:
- "agora corrige o que encontraste"
- "continua"
- "e o ficheiro X?"
- "faz o mesmo para..."
- "e agora?"
- "ok, e o erro de..."
- Anything that clearly references what Claude just did
Use a new session when:
- New unrelated task
- User says "começa do zero" / "new task" / "esquece o anterior"
- Different workdir/project
Session storage
Claude Code stores sessions per-directory in ~/.claude/projects/.
As long as you use the same workdir, --continue picks up exactly where it left off —
same file context, same conversation history, same edits.
Direct command (alternative to wrapper)
# New session
OUTPUT=$(cd /workdir && env -u CLAUDECODE claude --permission-mode bypassPermissions --print "task" 2>&1)
# Continue session
OUTPUT=$(cd /workdir && env -u CLAUDECODE claude --permission-mode bypassPermissions --print --continue "task" 2>&1)
Common workdirs
| Context | Workdir |
|---|---|
| General/scripts | /home/xmanel/.openclaw/workspace |
| Trading | /home/xmanel/.openclaw/workspace/hyperliquid |
After receiving output
- Summarize in 1-3 lines what Claude did/found
- Mention files created or edited
- If error: analyze and suggest fix
- If output is long: summarize, offer full output on request
