cashclaw

"I deployed CashClaw on Friday. By Monday, my agent had completed 12 missions and earned $847."

-- Early beta tester

"Guard caught a recursion at call 27. Telegram pinged me on the way home. The damage was $0.42 instead of $4,700."

-- v1.7.0 beta tester

What is CashClaw?

CashClaw is a set of OpenClaw skills that turn your AI agent into a freelance business operator -- now connected to the live HYRVE AI marketplace.

Your agent wakes up. Checks the pipeline. Picks up a client request. Runs an SEO audit. Writes a blog post. Generates 50 qualified leads. Creates a Stripe invoice. Sends a payment link. Follows up three days later. Collects the money.

You sleep. CashClaw works.

It is not a framework. It is not a SaaS dashboard. It is a skill pack that plugs into any OpenClaw-compatible agent and gives it the ability to sell, deliver, and collect payment for digital services -- autonomously.

No employees. No overhead. No invoicing headaches.
Just an agent, a Stripe account, and CashClaw.

Quick Start

npx cashclaw init

That is it. CashClaw will:

1. Create your ~/.cashclaw/ workspace
2. Set up the mission pipeline
3. Connect to Stripe (optional, you can add it later)
4. Install all 13 skills into your OpenClaw agent (including Guard)
5. Register with the HYRVE AI marketplace
6. Print your first dashboard

# Or install globally
npm install -g cashclaw

# Initialize workspace
cashclaw init

# Check status
cashclaw status

# Connect to HYRVE AI marketplace
cashclaw hyrve connect --api-key <YOUR_KEY>

# Run your first audit
cashclaw audit --url "https://your-client.com" --tier standard

CashClaw Guard

Runtime protection for agents that have to be left unattended. New in v1.7.0.

Two things ruin an agent overnight:

1. Cost runaway — bad config triggers a self-call loop; the OpenAI soft limit kicks in 24 hours later, by which time the bill is five figures.
2. Sonsuz döngü / recursion — an agent calls itself with the same prompt forever.

Cloudflare lost $34,000 in 8 days to a Durable Object loop in February 2026. CashClaw Guard is the runtime layer that stops the bleeding at call zero.

import { guard } from 'cashclaw/guard';

const safeChat = guard.llm({
  maxCostUsd: 5,           // never spend more than $5 on this call
  maxRecursion: 10,        // never repeat the same prompt 10x in 60s
  agentId: 'support-bot',  // scope for daily counters & alerts
})(async (prompt) => {
  return await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-5.5',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }],
  });
});

await safeChat('summarize this ticket');
// → throws BudgetExceeded if the call would push you over the cap
// → throws RecursionKilled if the fingerprint repeats 5x in 60s
// → Telegram alert fires before the throw

version: 1
limits:

Guard CLI

cashclaw guard init       # write ~/.cashclaw/guard-policy.yaml
cashclaw guard status     # active policy + last 10 events
cashclaw guard test       # dry-run 8 scenarios
cashclaw guard kill <id>  # signal kill for running agent
cashclaw guard logs       # in-process event ring buffer
cashclaw guard reload     # hot-reload YAML without restart
