about

Show the plugin source β€” name, version, and repo URL. Works from CLI or messaging. Triggers on /about, /version, /agent:about, /agent:version, "quΓ© versiΓ³n", "what version", "about the plugin", "about clawcode".

/about β€” Plugin source & version

Show a small card with the plugin name, version, and repo URL. Answers "where does this agent come from?" / "what version am I running?".

Output format

πŸ”Œ ClawCode v<version>
Repo: https://github.com/crisandrews/ClawCode
Issues / stars: same link Β· feedback welcome

Steps

  1. Get the version β€” preferred: call the watchdog_ping MCP tool; it returns {ok, version, ts, plugins} and is the cheapest way to get the live value (no filesystem reads).

    Fallback if the tool isn't available: Bash:

    jq -r .version "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json"
    

    Never hardcode the version β€” always read it at runtime.

  2. Detect the surface for bold formatting:

    • CLI / Telegram / WebChat: **bold**
    • WhatsApp: *bold* (single asterisk, no markdown headers)
    • Discord: **bold** as-is
    • iMessage: plain text, strip bold
  3. Print the card using REAL data. One card, no preamble, no persona-intro.

Format per surface

Tail-line language: the "Issues / stars …" line adapts to the user's conversation language. Default to EN if there's no clear signal. Known translations:

  • en β†’ Issues / stars: same link Β· feedback welcome
  • es β†’ Issues / stars: mismo link Β· feedback bienvenido
  • pt β†’ Issues / stars: mesmo link Β· feedback bem-vindo

For other languages, keep the structure and translate the tail naturally.

CLI / WebChat

πŸ”Œ **ClawCode** v<version>
Repo: https://github.com/crisandrews/ClawCode
<tail-line-in-user-language>

WhatsApp

πŸ”Œ *ClawCode* v<version>
Repo: https://github.com/crisandrews/ClawCode
<tail-line-in-user-language>

Bold uses single * on WhatsApp (no markdown headers).

Telegram

Same as CLI/WebChat.

Important

  • /about and /version are aliases β€” same response.
  • Only respond when the user asks explicitly. Never volunteer this card unprompted.
  • One card. No extra commentary, no persona-intro ("Soy …"). The user asked for metadata, give them metadata.
  • For "what can I do?" the user wants /help, not /about β€” do not conflate.
