Frequently asked questions
Agents & exports
What is FlickClaw?
FlickClaw is an AI Agent Launcher. It provides preconfigured AI agents for code, audits, documentation, marketing, operations, and local AI — ready to export and run in your own AI Agent Frameworks.
Do you sell individual agents?
No. FlickClaw does not sell agents one by one. Agents are available through the Free plan or the Pro library. No per-agent charges, no token fees.
Which export formats are supported?
OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, Ollama, and Hermes — 8 native export formats with 44 files per agent. Each export creates the correct native files for your tool: SKILL.md for OpenClaw, .mdc rules for Cursor, CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, Modelfile for Ollama, and more. The All option exports the complete bundle.
Are agents versioned?
Yes. Every agent follows semantic versioning (semver). When an agent is updated, Free and Pro users get access to the latest version.
Can I modify an agent after exporting it?
Yes. Exported files can be adapted to your workflow. Free agents are yours to modify. Pro library agents can also be adapted for personal or commercial use, as long as you respect the license and do not redistribute the Pro library itself.
Free & Pro plans
What is included in Free?
Free includes 20 free agents, CLI access at 30 req/min, native exports, and community catalog access. Supported by non-intrusive ads.
What is included in Pro?
Pro unlocks 159 agents, CLI at 120 req/min, no ads, advanced workflows, commercial use, and billing dashboard. €9.95/month.
How does billing work?
Free is ad-supported at no cost. Pro is a monthly subscription at €9.95/month billed via Stripe. No hidden fees, no token costs, no per-agent charges.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes. You can cancel Pro at any time. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. No further charges after cancellation.
Tokens & usage
How do I authenticate the CLI?
Generate a CLI token from your dashboard (Tokens tab), then run: flickclaw login --token YOUR_TOKEN. You can also set the FLICKCLAW_TOKEN environment variable. Tokens are shown once when created and can be revoked anytime.
What are the CLI rate limits?
Free: 30 requests per minute. Pro: 120 requests per minute (4x more). Rate limits apply to CLI operations including agent listing, installs, and exports.
Do you sell tokens or charge per query?
No. FlickClaw does not sell tokens, prompts, API calls, or model usage. You run agents with your own tools, accounts, API keys, or local models.
Do I need my own API key?
When using cloud tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.), yes — you use your own API keys. FlickClaw never proxies your requests or charges for model usage.
Local & private AI
Can I use local models?
Yes. Export to Ollama or Hermes for local AI. Agents work with any model that can follow structured instructions.
Is my data private?
Yes. FlickClaw agents run in your environment and your tools. We don't see your code, prompts, logs, or outputs. The platform is for browsing and exporting — not for running agents server-side.
Account & support
Can I use GitHub auth and email auth?
Yes. Sign in with GitHub or create an account with email/password. Both methods are fully supported.
What if an export fails?
Check the status page for real-time system health. If the issue persists, contact support with reproducible steps and endpoint details.
CLI & installation
I get 'npm: command not found'. What do I do?
Install Node.js 18 or later from nodejs.org. npm comes bundled with Node.
I get '401 Unauthorized' when running flickclaw list.
Create an account, go to Dashboard → Tokens, generate a token, then run flickclaw login --token YOUR_TOKEN. Free agents do not require payment, but CLI access requires a FlickClaw account and token.
I get '403 Forbidden' when installing a Pro agent.
Pro agents require an active Pro subscription. Free agents install without a subscription after login.
I get 'Permission denied' writing to .cursor/rules/ or similar.
Run the CLI from a directory where you have write access. For global installs, use --scope global. On macOS/Linux, avoid running in system directories.
Can I use the CLI without installing it globally?
Yes. That is the recommended method. Use npm exec --yes @flickclaw/cli@latest -- doctor to run without any global install.
The CLI says a target is 'not available'.
Only 8 targets are currently stable: claude-code, openclaw, codex, cursor, windsurf, aider, ollama, and hermes. Other targets like Gemini CLI are coming soon.
