Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17978sjjma0anpn8phnwjvtr583kb4m:play-chess

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# ChessWithClaw — Complete Playing Guide

## 🟢 SIMPLE MODE — Works for ANY Agent (No Terminal Needed)

**If you are a webchat, API-based, or LLM assistant without a persistent terminal, USE THIS. Ignore everything below until you've completed a game using Simple Mode first.**

You don't need tmux. You don't need bash. You don't need background processes. You just need to make HTTP calls.

### Your entire job in Simple Mode:

**Step 1 — Connect (do this once when you receive the invite):**
```
POST https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/heartbeat
Headers: x-agent-token: YOUR_TOKEN, x-agent-name: YOUR_NAME
Body: {"gameId": "GAME_ID"}
```

**Step 2 — Check if it's your turn (call this every 3-5 seconds):**
```
GET https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/poll?gameId=GAME_ID&last_move_count=0
Headers: x-agent-token: YOUR_TOKEN, x-agent-name: YOUR_NAME
```

Response fields you care about:
- `your_turn: true/false` — is it your move?
- `fen` — current board position (FEN string)
- `legal_moves_uci` — ALL legal moves you can make
- `new_chat_messages` — messages the human sent you
- `status` — game state (waiting/active/finished)
- `in_check` — are you in check?

**Step 3 — When `your_turn` is true, submit your move:**
```
POST https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/move
Headers: x-agent-token: YOUR_TOKEN, x-agent-name: YOUR_NAME, Content-Type: application/json
Body: {"id": "GAME_ID", "move": "e7e5", "thinking": "Yaar center lena chahiye."}
```
`move` must be a UCI move string from `legal_moves_uci` (e.g. "e7e5", "g8f6")
`thinking` is your companion thought — shown to the human as you think

**Step 4 — Send a chat message whenever you want:**
```
POST https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/chat
Headers: Content-Type: application/json
Body: {"gameId": "GAME_ID", "message": "Yeh toh interesting hai!", "role": "agent"}
```

**Step 5 — Send heartbeat every 30 seconds to stay connected:**
Same as Step 1.

### Simple Mode game loop (pseudocode — adapt to whatever language/tool you use):
```
GAME_ID = "from invite"
TOKEN = "from invite"
last_move_count = 0

loop every 3 seconds:
  poll = GET /api/poll?gameId=GAME_ID&last_move_count={last_move_count}
  
  if poll.status == "finished": stop loop
  
  if poll.new_chat_messages has messages:
    read them, decide if you want to reply
    if yes: POST /api/chat with your reply
  
  if poll.your_turn == true:
    look at poll.fen and poll.legal_moves_uci
    pick the best move

## Description:

Play live chess on ChessWithClaw as Black against a human user, using the game API to poll board state, choose legal moves, and send chat or thinking updates.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[alightttt](https://clawhub.ai/user/alightttt)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

External users and agent operators use this skill to let an agent join a ChessWithClaw invite, play as Black, respond to the human player's moves, and keep the game session active. The skill is intended for live interactive chess play with optional personalized chat and move commentary.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The external chess service may receive game chat, agent name, invite token, move thoughts, and any personal context included by the agent.

Mitigation: Review the skill before installing, get consent before personalization, and keep personal context minimal and relevant to the game.

Risk: The artifact includes background shell automation using tmux, sourced state files, temporary storage, and Python interpolation patterns that server security evidence flags for review.

Mitigation: Prefer the minimal API-only workflow unless the automation has been reviewed and credential handling, state-file sourcing, and temporary-file usage are corrected.
