SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Platform API provides a centralized reference of API surfaces available to DenchClaw apps, enabling UI integration, per-app storage, HTTP proxy, real-time events, inter-app messaging, cron scheduling, webhooks, clipboard, and widget mode.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • UI Integration: Show toasts, navigate, open entries, set titles, confirm dialogs, and prompts from within a DenchClaw app.
  • Per-App KV Store: Persist per-app data across reloads using a workspace-scoped JSON store.
  • HTTP Proxy: Make HTTP requests from apps without CORS restrictions via a server proxy.
  • Real-time Events: Subscribe to workspace and app lifecycle events to react to changes.
  • Inter-App Messaging: Communicate between open apps to coordinate workflows.
  • Cron Scheduling: Schedule recurring tasks that send messages to agents.
  • Webhooks: Expose and receive external HTTP webhooks into apps.
  • Clipboard: Read and write clipboard content through the platform.
  • Widget Mode: Render small dashboard widgets with manifest and styling guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate DenchClaw app UI features like toasts and dialogs?

DenchClaw app UI integration provides APIs to show toasts, navigate, open entries, set titles, confirm dialogs, and prompts from within the app. It handles the platform interface mapping automatically to render native UI components.

Can I make HTTP requests from DenchClaw apps without CORS restrictions?

Yes, the HTTP proxy makes HTTP requests from apps without CORS restrictions via a server proxy. It forwards external requests through the DenchClaw backend to bypass browser limitations.

How do I schedule recurring tasks or receive external webhooks in DenchClaw?

DenchClaw supports cron scheduling for recurring tasks that send messages to agents, and webhooks to expose and receive external HTTP webhooks into apps. Both features handle event routing natively.

Can DenchClaw apps communicate with each other to coordinate workflows?

Yes, inter-app messaging allows DenchClaw apps to communicate between open instances to coordinate workflows. It routes messages directly between active app contexts to synchronize state.

Does DenchClaw support real-time workspace and app lifecycle events?

Yes, DenchClaw supports real-time events to subscribe to workspace and app lifecycle changes. It emits events when workspace state updates or apps open and close.

What do I need to structure a DenchClaw app entry with SKILL.md frontmatter?

DenchClaw enforces a structured entry via SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description fields. You must define these metadata properties before adding optional scripts, references, and assets directories.
