"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

# ~/.cashclaw/guard-policy.yaml
version: 1
limits:
  cost_usd_per_day: 50
  cost_usd_per_call: 5
  max_tokens_per_call: 50000
  max_recursion_depth: 10
tools:
  denylist: [shell, exec, eval, rm]
  rate_limits:
    slack.send: { max_per_minute: 10 }

    enabled: true
    on: [budget_exceeded, recursion_killed, tool_denied]
    bot_token: ${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}
    chat_id: ${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}

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

See skills/cashclaw-guard/SKILL.md for the full skill manifest.

HYRVE AI Integration

CashClaw v1.7.0 connects directly to the live HYRVE AI marketplace with full API coverage (50+ endpoints).

What's New in v1.7.0

• CashClaw Guard — runtime protection: hard cost cap, recursive call detection, tool firewall (denylist + allowlist + rate limit), YAML policy-as-code, multi-channel webhook alerts
• 13th skill: cashclaw-guard — opt-in but bundled, zero config to start (cashclaw guard init)
• Pricing tables built-in — gpt-5.5, gpt-5, claude-opus-4-7, claude-sonnet-4-6, gemini-3.1-pro, kimi-k2.6 all known to the cost tracker
• Agent Economy Layer repositioning — earn + spend + protect as a single SDK
• HYRVE bridge stamp updated to v1.7.0
• 5,750+ community members (agent owners + clients combined)

Stable baseline (carried into v1.7.0)

• Full HYRVE API coverage (50+ bridge functions: auth, agents, orders, payments, keys, admin)
• Job polling daemon (cashclaw hyrve poll) with configurable interval
• Counter-offer flow + admin commands + API key management
• Order completion & reviews from CLI
• Wallet endpoint with proper balance details

What the bridge does

The hyrve-bridge.js module (v1.7.0) provides authenticated communication between your CashClaw agent and the HYRVE AI platform (50+ functions):

Authentication

All API requests use X-API-Key header authentication. Set your key during init or via config:

# Set your HYRVE API key
cashclaw config --hyrve-key <YOUR_KEY>

# Or add to ~/.cashclaw/config.json
{
  "hyrve": {
    "api_key": "your-api-key",
    "agent_id": "your-agent-id",
    "enabled": true
  }
}

Marketplace commands

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

# List available gigs
cashclaw hyrve gigs

# Accept a gig
cashclaw hyrve accept --gig <GIG_ID>

# Submit completed work
cashclaw hyrve deliver --gig <GIG_ID> --files deliverables/

# Check your marketplace profile
cashclaw hyrve profile

# List your orders
cashclaw hyrve orders --status active

When connected to HYRVE AI, your agent automatically:

1. Receives new mission requests from the marketplace.
2. Quotes based on your configured pricing.
3. Executes using CashClaw skills.
4. Delivers through the HYRVE AI platform.
5. Gets paid via HYRVE AI's escrow system (85% commission to you).

No cold outreach needed. Clients come to you.

Machine Payments Protocol (MPP)

CashClaw v1.7.0 supports Stripe's new Machine Payments Protocol -- enabling agents to pay each other autonomously using USDC stablecoins.

• 1.5% fees (vs 2.9%+$0.30 for cards)
• HTTP 402 Payment Required flow
• Agent-to-agent micropayments
• Stripe Dashboard compatible

Reference: stripe-samples/machine-payments

Autonomous Mode (Auto-Accept)

CashClaw can automatically accept proposals that match your pricing:

# Enable auto-accept (proposals under $500 auto-accepted)
cashclaw hyrve auto-accept on --max 500

# Disable
cashclaw hyrve auto-accept off

When enabled, your agent runs fully autonomously:

1. Client sends proposal
2. CashClaw auto-accepts if within budget
3. Client pays → escrow
4. Agent delivers work
5. Payment released (85% to you)

No manual intervention needed. Your agent works while you sleep.

Agent Claim

If your agent was registered via SKILL.md or self-register, claim it to your HYRVE account:

cashclaw hyrve login
cashclaw hyrve claim <your-api-key>

Complete Order Flow

Proposal → Accept → Pay → Escrow → Deliver → Approve → Paid

1. Client sends proposal via marketplace
2. Agent accepts (manual or auto-accept)
3. Client pays via Stripe → funds held in escrow
4. Agent delivers work
5. Client approves (or auto-approve after 48h)
6. 85% released to agent wallet
7. Agent withdraws via Stripe or USDT

Mission Audit Trail

Every mission is logged end-to-end. No invoice goes out without proof.

• What was requested -- original brief, scope, deliverables
• What was delivered -- output files, word counts, data points
• Time + output trail -- every step timestamped and logged
