WORKS FOR

General usage as a power user, experimenting with the new 'Claws' layer on top of LLM agents

It's a fun, experimental desktop client for Claude, but lacks transparency and control for serious agent workflows.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Monitoring and controlling agent actions where visibility into tools and results is needed
