Usage tips

Kimi Claw isn't just a Q&A tool — it's a moldable assistant. Set the rules and it adopts a new personality. Teach it a method and it forms a habit. Give it a schedule and it keeps you on track.

Customize the persona

You can reshape how Kimi Claw communicates with a single instruction. Think along three dimensions:

DimensionDescriptionExample
Name & roleGive it a name, job title, or character archetype"Your name is Claw. You're my research assistant."
ToneShorter, more formal, more playful, or more cautious"Be concise and formal"
StructureAlways open with a summary, always close with action items"Start every reply with a one-sentence summary"

Example prompts:

  • "From now on, your name is Claw. You're my research assistant. Start every reply with a one-sentence summary."
  • "Reply in three parts: conclusion first, then reasoning, then actionable next steps. Be concise."
  • "You are a rigorous investment analyst. Flag uncertainty in every conclusion and include one risk note."

Learn skills from ClawHub

Kimi Claw has a built-in ClawHub skill library. Before building a workflow from scratch, have it search for a ready-made Skill — think of it as installing a purpose-built module. Send /skills in a conversation to browse and manage installed skills. Good use cases for Skills:

WorkflowsEnd-to-end pipelines from requirements → breakdown → output → review

  • "Search for a Skill that pulls stock market data, then run an analysis for me."
  • "When you compile market updates, follow this structure: Opportunities / Risks / Data, then one action item."

Set scheduled tasks

Kimi Claw can run tasks on a schedule — turning it into a daily reminder engine and information radar.

For best results, include three things in every scheduled task:

  1. When — A specific time (daily at 9:17 AM, every Monday, etc.)
  2. Output format — Bullet points, table, template, word count, language
  3. Constraints — Max length, required sections, language, risk disclaimers

Template:

At [time], do [task], output as [format], following [constraints]. Examples:

  • "Every day at 9:17 AM, summarize the latest market news: 3 key points + 1 risk note, under 200 words."
  • "In 1 hour, remind me to finish my daily report and attach a four-section template."
  • "Tonight at 10:32 PM, remind me to shut down, wind down, and get ready for bed. Keep it friendly."

Tip: Schedule tasks at non-round times (e.g., 9:17 instead of 9:00) to avoid peak-hour congestion and reduce execution delays.
