What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps engineers and operators diagnose and resolve failures in the MatClaw containerized agent execution environment, including authentication failures, mount and permission errors, missing environment variables, and session resumption problems.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Log locations & inspection: Enumerates host and per-run container logs to locate errors quickly.
- Authentication checks: Verifies presence and propagation of CLAUDE/ANTHROPIC credentials and explains how the env file is mounted.
- Mounts, permissions & session persistence: Shows expected mount targets, ownership requirements for the container user, and how to ensure sessions persist under /home/node/.claude.
- MCP and SDK troubleshooting: Describes SDK options, permission modes that cause exits, and how to validate MCP server startup.
- Rebuild & reproduce: Provides commands and a quick diagnostic checklist to rebuild images, run test queries, and validate the runtime environment.
Quick Start
Run the repository's quick diagnostic script to verify authentication, mounts, container image, logs, and session path correctness.
