Calling Claude Code from the TUI
Hey all, trying to get Claude Code working from the TUI on Windows and hitting a wall, wondering if anyone else has
this setup running.
The idea is simple: send a coding task via the TUI, OpenClaw delegates to Claude Code via the coding-agent skill,
Claude Code does its thing. But exec output is completely broken for me on Windows so the whole chain falls apart.
Commands run fine (exit 0, normal timing) but return zero output. Tried dir, cmd /c dir, pwsh -Command, claude
--version — all silent. File tools work great on the same paths so it's not permissions, and I tested running as admin
too, no difference.
My guess after looking at the docs is that exec has no shell configured for Windows — the docs mention bash/fish
fallback for non-Windows but say nothing about Windows specifically, so stdout probably never makes it back to the
gateway.
Has anyone actually got Claude Code delegation working from a Windows install? Curious if there's a shell config I'm
missing or if this is just a known Windows gap.
