ClawOS — Engineering Spec

macOS VM provisioning on Apple Silicon, from IPSW to SSH-ready in one command.

This spec documents the working implementation as of Feb 2026. It covers architecture, every gotcha encountered, and decisions made. Use it as a blueprint if you're building something similar.

1. What ClawOS Does

name	description
Reasoning Chain	Explains conclusions through traced reasoning chains (5-whys style)

Instructions

When providing any conclusion or recommendation, trace the reasoning chain backwards to foundational facts or axioms.

I have a large codebase that I want to understand better through visual architecture diagrams. Please analyze the project structure and create comprehensive Mermaid diagrams that help me understand the codebase at different levels of detail.

📋 Required Analysis

First, explore the codebase to understand:

1. Project structure - root directories, main modules, configuration files
2. Dependencies - internal dependencies between modules/packages
3. Architecture patterns - layered architecture, microservices, monolith, etc.
4. Key systems - core functionality areas (UI, backend, database, API, etc.)
5. Technology stack - frameworks, languages, tools used

aessam

Analyze this codebase and create a multi-level interactive dependency graph visualization as a single HTML file.

Level 1 - System Overview (40,000ft view):

• Show only top-level directories/subsystems
• Group by: Frontend, Backend, Core, Database, Tests, Tools, External
• Display as large nodes with # of files and primary language
• Show only major connections between subsystems

Level 2 - Module View (10,000ft view):

• Show ~30-50 most important modules/packages
