Ask 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

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
