+  - Setting up Twitch chat integration for Clawdbot
+---
+# Twitch (plugin)
+
+Twitch chat support via IRC connection. Clawdbot connects as a Twitch user (bot account) to receive and send messages in channels.
+
+## Plugin required
+
+Twitch ships as a plugin and is not bundled with the core install.
+
+Install via CLI (npm registry):
+
+```bash
+clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/twitch
+```
+
+Local checkout (when running from a git repo):
+
+```bash
+clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/twitch
+```
+
+Details: [Plugins](/plugin)
+
+## Quick setup (beginner)
+
+1) Create a dedicated Twitch account for the bot (or use an existing account).
+2) Generate credentials: [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/)
+   - Select **Bot Token**
+   - Verify scopes `chat:read` and `chat:write` are selected
+   - Copy the **Client ID** and **Access Token**
+3) Find your Twitch user ID: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-to-user-id/
+4) Configure the token:
+   - Env: `CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=...` (default account only)
+   - Or config: `channels.twitch.accessToken`
+   - If both are set, config takes precedence (env fallback is default-account only).
+5) Start the gateway.
+
+**⚠️ Important:** Add access control (`allowFrom` or `allowedRoles`) to prevent unauthorized users from triggering the bot. `requireMention` defaults to `true`.
+
+Minimal config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      enabled: true,
+      username: "clawdbot",              // Bot's Twitch account
+      accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",    // OAuth Access Token (or use CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN env var)
+      clientId: "xyz789...",             // Client ID from Token Generator
+      channel: "vevisk",                 // Which Twitch channel's chat to join (required)
+      allowFrom: ["123456789"]           // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only - get it from https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-to-user-id/
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## What it is
+
+- A Twitch channel owned by the Gateway.
+- Deterministic routing: replies always go back to Twitch.
+- Each account maps to an isolated session key `agent:<agentId>:twitch:<accountName>`.
+- `username` is the bot's account (who authenticates), `channel` is which chat room to join.
+
+## Setup (detailed)
+
+### Generate credentials
+
+Use [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/):
+- Select **Bot Token**
+- Verify scopes `chat:read` and `chat:write` are selected
+- Copy the **Client ID** and **Access Token**
+
+No manual app registration needed. Tokens expire after several hours.
+
+### Configure the bot
+
+**Env var (default account only):**
+```bash
+CLAWDBOT_TWITCH_ACCESS_TOKEN=oauth:abc123...
+```
+
+**Or config:**
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      enabled: true,
+      username: "clawdbot",
+      accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
+      clientId: "xyz789...",
+      channel: "vevisk"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If both env and config are set, config takes precedence.
+
+### Access control (recommended)
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      allowFrom: ["123456789"],       // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only
+      allowedRoles: ["moderator"]     // Or restrict to roles
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Available roles:** `"moderator"`, `"owner"`, `"vip"`, `"subscriber"`, `"all"`.
+
+**Why user IDs?** Usernames can change, allowing impersonation. User IDs are permanent.
+
+Find your Twitch user ID: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-%20to-user-id/ (Convert your Twitch username to ID)
+
+## Token refresh (optional)
+
+Tokens from [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/) cannot be automatically refreshed - regenerate when expired.
+
+For automatic token refresh, create your own Twitch application at [Twitch Developer Console](https://dev.twitch.tv/console) and add to config:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      clientSecret: "your_client_secret",
+      refreshToken: "your_refresh_token"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The bot automatically refreshes tokens before expiration and logs refresh events.
+
+## Multi-account support
+
+Use `channels.twitch.accounts` with per-account tokens. See [`gateway/configuration`](/gateway/configuration) for the shared pattern.
+
+Example (one bot account in two channels):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      accounts: {
+        channel1: {
+          username: "clawdbot",
+          accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
+          clientId: "xyz789...",
+          channel: "vevisk"
+        },
+        channel2: {
+          username: "clawdbot",
+          accessToken: "oauth:def456...",
+          clientId: "uvw012...",
+          channel: "secondchannel"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Each account needs its own token (one token per channel).
+
+## Access control
+
+### Role-based restrictions
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Allowlist by User ID (most secure)
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          allowFrom: ["123456789", "987654321"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Combined allowlist + roles
+
+Users in `allowFrom` bypass role checks:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          allowFrom: ["123456789"],
+          allowedRoles: ["moderator"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Disable @mention requirement
+
+By default, `requireMention` is `true`. To disable and respond to all messages:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          requireMention: false
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+First, run diagnostic commands:
+
+```bash
+clawdbot doctor
+clawdbot channels status --probe
+```
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to messages
+
+**Check access control:** Temporarily set `allowedRoles: ["all"]` to test.
+
+**Check the bot is in the channel:** The bot must join the channel specified in `channel`.
+
+### Token issues
+
+**"Failed to connect" or authentication errors:**
+- Verify `accessToken` is the OAuth access token value (typically starts with `oauth:` prefix)
+- Check token has `chat:read` and `chat:write` scopes
+- If using token refresh, verify `clientSecret` and `refreshToken` are set
+
+### Token refresh not working
+
+**Check logs for refresh events:**
+```
+Using env token source for mybot
+Access token refreshed for user 123456 (expires in 14400s)
+```
+
+If you see "token refresh disabled (no refresh token)":
+- Ensure `clientSecret` is provided
+- Ensure `refreshToken` is provided
+
+## Config
+
+**Account config:**
+- `username` - Bot username
+- `accessToken` - OAuth access token with `chat:read` and `chat:write`
+- `clientId` - Twitch Client ID (from Token Generator or your app)
+- `channel` - Channel to join (required)
+- `enabled` - Enable this account (default: `true`)
+- `clientSecret` - Optional: For automatic token refresh
+- `refreshToken` - Optional: For automatic token refresh
+- `expiresIn` - Token expiry in seconds
+- `obtainmentTimestamp` - Token obtained timestamp
+- `allowFrom` - User ID allowlist
+- `allowedRoles` - Role-based access control (`"moderator" | "owner" | "vip" | "subscriber" | "all"`)
+- `requireMention` - Require @mention (default: `true`)
+
+**Provider options:**
+- `channels.twitch.enabled` - Enable/disable channel startup
+- `channels.twitch.username` - Bot username (simplified single-account config)
+- `channels.twitch.accessToken` - OAuth access token (simplified single-account config)
+- `channels.twitch.clientId` - Twitch Client ID (simplified single-account config)
+- `channels.twitch.channel` - Channel to join (simplified single-account config)
+- `channels.twitch.accounts.<accountName>` - Multi-account config (all account fields above)
+
+Full example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      enabled: true,
+      username: "clawdbot",
+      accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
+      clientId: "xyz789...",
+      channel: "vevisk",
+      clientSecret: "secret123...",
+      refreshToken: "refresh456...",
+      allowFrom: ["123456789"],
+      allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip"],
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          username: "mybot",
+          accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
+          clientId: "xyz789...",
+          channel: "your_channel",
+          enabled: true,
+          clientSecret: "secret123...",
+          refreshToken: "refresh456...",
+          expiresIn: 14400,
+          obtainmentTimestamp: 1706092800000,
+          allowFrom: ["123456789", "987654321"],
+          allowedRoles: ["moderator"]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Tool actions
+
+The agent can call `twitch` with action:
+- `send` - Send a message to a channel
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+{
+  "action": "twitch",
+  "params": {
+    "message": "Hello Twitch!",
+    "to": "#mychannel"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Safety & ops
+
+- **Treat tokens like passwords** - Never commit tokens to git
+- **Use automatic token refresh** for long-running bots
+- **Use user ID allowlists** instead of usernames for access control
+- **Monitor logs** for token refresh events and connection status
+- **Scope tokens minimally** - Only request `chat:read` and `chat:write`
+- **If stuck**: Restart the gateway after confirming no other process owns the session
+
+## Limits
+
+- **500 characters** per message (auto-chunked at word boundaries)
+- Markdown is stripped before chunking
+- No rate limiting (uses Twitch's built-in rate limits)

-When Clawdbot refreshes an Anthropic OAuth token (profile `anthropic:claude-cli`), it **writes the new credentials back** to Claude Code's storage:
-
-- **Linux/Windows**: updates `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
-- **macOS**: updates Keychain item "Claude Code-credentials"

-This ensures both tools stay in sync and neither gets "logged out" after the other refreshes.

-Anthropic OAuth tokens expire after a few hours. Without bidirectional sync:
-1. Clawdbot refreshes the token → gets new access token
-2. Claude Code still has the old token → gets logged out

+  - Setting up Clawdbot on Oracle Cloud
+  - Looking for low-cost VPS hosting for Clawdbot
+  - Want 24/7 Clawdbot on a small server
+---
+
+# Clawdbot on Oracle Cloud (OCI)
+
+## Goal
+
+Run a persistent Clawdbot Gateway on Oracle Cloud's **Always Free** ARM tier.
+
+Oracle’s free tier can be a great fit for Clawdbot (especially if you already have an OCI account), but it comes with tradeoffs:
+
+- ARM architecture (most things work, but some binaries may be x86-only)
+- Capacity and signup can be finicky
+
+## Cost Comparison (2026)
+
+| Provider | Plan | Specs | Price/mo | Notes |
+|----------|------|-------|----------|-------|
+| Oracle Cloud | Always Free ARM | up to 4 OCPU, 24GB RAM | $0 | ARM, limited capacity |
+| Hetzner | CX22 | 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM | ~ $4 | Cheapest paid option |
+| DigitalOcean | Basic | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Easy UI, good docs |
+| Vultr | Cloud Compute | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Many locations |
+| Linode | Nanode | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $5 | Now part of Akamai |
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Oracle Cloud account ([signup](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/)) — see [community signup guide](https://gist.github.com/rssnyder/51e3cfedd730e7dd5f4a816143b25dbd) if you hit issues
+- Tailscale account (free at [tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com))
+- ~30 minutes
+
+## 1) Create an OCI Instance
+
+1. Log into [Oracle Cloud Console](https://cloud.oracle.com/)
+2. Navigate to **Compute → Instances → Create Instance**
+3. Configure:
+   - **Name:** `clawdbot`
+   - **Image:** Ubuntu 24.04 (aarch64)
+   - **Shape:** `VM.Standard.A1.Flex` (Ampere ARM)
+   - **OCPUs:** 2 (or up to 4)
+   - **Memory:** 12 GB (or up to 24 GB)
+   - **Boot volume:** 50 GB (up to 200 GB free)
+   - **SSH key:** Add your public key
+4. Click **Create**
+5. Note the public IP address
+
+**Tip:** If instance creation fails with "Out of capacity", try a different availability domain or retry later. Free tier capacity is limited.
+
+## 2) Connect and Update
+
+```bash
+# Connect via public IP
+ssh ubuntu@YOUR_PUBLIC_IP
+
+# Update system
+sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
+sudo apt install -y build-essential
+```
+
+**Note:** `build-essential` is required for ARM compilation of some dependencies.
+
+## 3) Configure User and Hostname
+
+```bash
+# Set hostname
+sudo hostnamectl set-hostname clawdbot
+
+# Set password for ubuntu user
+sudo passwd ubuntu
+
+# Enable lingering (keeps user services running after logout)
+sudo loginctl enable-linger ubuntu
+```
+
+## 4) Install Tailscale
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
+sudo tailscale up --ssh --hostname=clawdbot
+```
+
+This enables Tailscale SSH, so you can connect via `ssh clawdbot` from any device on your tailnet — no public IP needed.
+
+Verify:
+```bash
+tailscale status
+```
+
+**From now on, connect via Tailscale:** `ssh ubuntu@clawdbot` (or use the Tailscale IP).
+
+## 5) Install Clawdbot
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+When prompted "How do you want to hatch your bot?", select **"Do this later"**.
+
+> Note: If you hit ARM-native build issues, start with system packages (e.g. `sudo apt install -y build-essential`) before reaching for Homebrew.
+
+## 6) Configure Gateway (loopback + token auth) and enable Tailscale Serve
+
+Use token auth as the default. It’s predictable and avoids needing any “insecure auth” Control UI flags.
+
+```bash
+# Keep the Gateway private on the VM
+clawdbot config set gateway.bind loopback
+
+# Require auth for the Gateway + Control UI
+clawdbot config set gateway.auth.mode token
+clawdbot doctor --generate-gateway-token
+
+# Expose over Tailscale Serve (HTTPS + tailnet access)
+clawdbot config set gateway.tailscale.mode serve
+clawdbot config set gateway.trustedProxies '["127.0.0.1"]'
+
+systemctl --user restart clawdbot-gateway
+```
+
+## 7) Verify
+
+```bash
+# Check version
+clawdbot --version
+
+# Check daemon status
+systemctl --user status clawdbot-gateway
+
+# Check Tailscale Serve
+tailscale serve status
+
+# Test local response
+curl http://localhost:18789
+```
+
+## 8) Lock Down VCN Security
+
+Now that everything is working, lock down the VCN to block all traffic except Tailscale. OCI's Virtual Cloud Network acts as a firewall at the network edge — traffic is blocked before it reaches your instance.
+
+1. Go to **Networking → Virtual Cloud Networks** in the OCI Console
+2. Click your VCN → **Security Lists** → Default Security List
+3. **Remove** all ingress rules except:
+   - `0.0.0.0/0 UDP 41641` (Tailscale)
+4. Keep default egress rules (allow all outbound)
+
+This blocks SSH on port 22, HTTP, HTTPS, and everything else at the network edge. From now on, you can only connect via Tailscale.
+
+---
+
+## Access the Control UI
+
+From any device on your Tailscale network:
+
+```
+https://clawdbot.<tailnet-name>.ts.net/
+```
+
+Replace `<tailnet-name>` with your tailnet name (visible in `tailscale status`).
+
+No SSH tunnel needed. Tailscale provides:
+- HTTPS encryption (automatic certs)
+- Authentication via Tailscale identity
+- Access from any device on your tailnet (laptop, phone, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Security: VCN + Tailscale (recommended baseline)
+
+With the VCN locked down (only UDP 41641 open) and the Gateway bound to loopback, you get strong defense-in-depth: public traffic is blocked at the network edge, and admin access happens over your tailnet.
+
+This setup often removes the *need* for extra host-based firewall rules purely to stop Internet-wide SSH brute force — but you should still keep the OS updated, run `clawdbot security audit`, and verify you aren’t accidentally listening on public interfaces.
+
+### What's Already Protected
+
+| Traditional Step | Needed? | Why |
+|------------------|---------|-----|
+| UFW firewall | No | VCN blocks before traffic reaches instance |
+| fail2ban | No | No brute force if port 22 blocked at VCN |
+| sshd hardening | No | Tailscale SSH doesn't use sshd |
+| Disable root login | No | Tailscale uses Tailscale identity, not system users |
+| SSH key-only auth | No | Tailscale authenticates via your tailnet |
+| IPv6 hardening | Usually not | Depends on your VCN/subnet settings; verify what’s actually assigned/exposed |
+
+### Still Recommended
+
+- **Credential permissions:** `chmod 700 ~/.clawdbot`
+- **Security audit:** `clawdbot security audit`
+- **System updates:** `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` regularly
+- **Monitor Tailscale:** Review devices in [Tailscale admin console](https://login.tailscale.com/admin)
+
+### Verify Security Posture
+
+```bash
+# Confirm no public ports listening
+sudo ss -tlnp | grep -v '127.0.0.1\|::1'
+
+# Verify Tailscale SSH is active
+tailscale status | grep -q 'offers: ssh' && echo "Tailscale SSH active"
+
+# Optional: disable sshd entirely
+sudo systemctl disable --now ssh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Fallback: SSH Tunnel
+
+If Tailscale Serve isn't working, use an SSH tunnel:
+
+```bash
+# From your local machine (via Tailscale)
+ssh -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 ubuntu@clawdbot
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:18789`.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Instance creation fails ("Out of capacity")
+Free tier ARM instances are popular. Try:
+- Different availability domain
+- Retry during off-peak hours (early morning)
+- Use the "Always Free" filter when selecting shape
+
+### Tailscale won't connect
+```bash
+# Check status
+sudo tailscale status
+
+# Re-authenticate
+sudo tailscale up --ssh --hostname=clawdbot --reset
+```
+
+### Gateway won't start
+```bash
+clawdbot gateway status
+clawdbot doctor --non-interactive
+journalctl --user -u clawdbot-gateway -n 50
+```
+
+### Can't reach Control UI
+```bash
+# Verify Tailscale Serve is running
+tailscale serve status
+
+# Check gateway is listening
+curl http://localhost:18789
+
+# Restart if needed
+systemctl --user restart clawdbot-gateway
+```
+
+### ARM binary issues
+Some tools may not have ARM builds. Check:
+```bash
+uname -m  # Should show aarch64
+```
+
+Most npm packages work fine. For binaries, look for `linux-arm64` or `aarch64` releases.
+
+---
+
+## Persistence
+
+All state lives in:
+- `~/.clawdbot/` — config, credentials, session data
+- `~/clawd/` — workspace (SOUL.md, memory, artifacts)
+
+Back up periodically:
+```bash
+tar -czvf clawdbot-backup.tar.gz ~/.clawdbot ~/clawd
+```

+
+Twitch channel plugin for Clawdbot.
+
+## Install (local checkout)
+
+```bash
+clawdbot plugins install ./extensions/twitch
+```
+
+## Install (npm)
+
+```bash
+clawdbot plugins install @clawdbot/twitch
+```
+
+Onboarding: select Twitch and confirm the install prompt to fetch the plugin automatically.
+
+## Config
+
+Minimal config (simplified single-account):
+
+**⚠️ Important:** `requireMention` defaults to `true`. Add access control (`allowFrom` or `allowedRoles`) to prevent unauthorized users from triggering the bot.
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      enabled: true,
+      username: "clawdbot",
+      accessToken: "oauth:abc123...", // OAuth Access Token (add oauth: prefix)
+      clientId: "xyz789...", // Client ID from Token Generator
+      channel: "vevisk", // Channel to join (required)
+      allowFrom: ["123456789"], // (recommended) Your Twitch user ID only (Convert your twitch username to ID at https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/convert-twitch-username-%20to-user-id/)
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Access control options:**
+
+- `requireMention: false` - Disable the default mention requirement to respond to all messages
+- `allowFrom: ["your_user_id"]` - Restrict to your Twitch user ID only (find your ID at https://www.twitchangles.com/xqc or similar)
+- `allowedRoles: ["moderator", "vip", "subscriber"]` - Restrict to specific roles
+
+Multi-account config (advanced):
+
+```json5
+{
+  channels: {
+    twitch: {
+      enabled: true,
+      accounts: {
+        default: {
+          username: "clawdbot",
+          accessToken: "oauth:abc123...",
+          clientId: "xyz789...",
+          channel: "vevisk",
+        },
+        channel2: {
+          username: "clawdbot",
+          accessToken: "oauth:def456...",
+          clientId: "uvw012...",
+          channel: "secondchannel",
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Create a dedicated Twitch account for the bot, then generate credentials: [Twitch Token Generator](https://twitchtokengenerator.com/)
+   - Select **Bot Token**
+   - Verify scopes `chat:read` and `chat:write` are selected
+   - Copy the **Access Token** to `token` property
+   - Copy the **Client ID** to `clientId` property
+2. Start the gateway
