Claw what?

Start here. We open with the big picture — what this thing is, why it has a lobster on the box, and how to walk around without bumping into furniture.

1.1What is ToqanClaw and its superpowers

Most assistants give you answers. ToqanClaw gives you outcomes.

Describe what you want in plain language — a dashboard, mini app, game, tracker, summary, or workflow — and ToqanClaw builds it for you. Not instructions. Not a tutorial. The actual working thing, ready to use.

What once needed developers, meetings, and weeks of work can now start with a simple prompt. Ask for changes naturally — "make the buttons bigger," "add a total," "use orange" — and ToqanClaw updates it instantly. No code. No setup. Just results. With a lobster on the box.

Tip

Read this section once without trying anything. The exercises later will give you plenty of room to play — for now, just get the lay of the land.

Some of its superpowers

From building mini apps and dashboards to writing content, connecting with your tools, and organizing messy information, ToqanClaw helps turn ideas into action in seconds.

1.2Overview: navigating ToqanClaw

Before you begin, take a quick tour of the workspace. The interface is simple, but labels like tabs, boards, skills, and MCPs will appear throughout your journey.

The next sections explain the basics:

  • how conversations work
  • what each tab does
  • how to move around confidently

Start a new conversation

ToqanClaw works like a browser. Every conversation opens in its own tab, and the small + beside the current tab starts a new one.

Each tab is independent, so you can work on multiple projects side by side without mixing them together.

A new tab is always a fresh start — nothing carries over automatically. If you want to keep something across chats, you'll need to save it intentionally.

Heads-up

The larger button in the left sidebar opens Toqan Flamingo, not a new ToqanClaw chat. To start a new conversation in ToqanClaw, use the small + next to the "New chat" tab.

Entry point Open ToqanClaw work.toqan.ai/toqan-claw

If you only remember one thing, remember: every new tab starts from zero — past chats won't follow you in.

Understanding the Tabs

ToqanClaw has a handful of tabs across the top. Five are worth knowing — click any tab below to see what it's for.

Chat tab

Where you talk

Type a question or request, get an answer back. Quick back-and-forth — this is where every conversation begins.

Files tab

Where files live

Every document in the conversation — the ones you drag in and the ones ToqanClaw creates — lands here.

Apps tab

Where things you built live

Open something you've built, run it again, or share the link with a colleague.

Skills tab

Helpers you switch on

Compact instructions you flip on for a specific job — drafting an email, summarising a meeting, briefing a topic.

MCP tab

Bridges to your other apps

Plug-ins that let ToqanClaw reach into your inbox, calendar, drive, and other tools you already use.

EX01
First exercise · 10 min Onboarding me

Answer five quick questions about your role and goals. ToqanClaw saves the result as a my_persona skill that loads before every future chat.

Goal

Save your work context as a my_persona skill so ToqanClaw consults it before answering anything — every task, every chat.

  1. Open a fresh conversation. Click the small + next to the "New chat" tab. A blank tab slides in — that's where you'll work.
  2. Paste the prompt below. Hit the Copy button in the prompt's top-right corner, then paste it into the message box and send.
  3. Answer the five questions. ToqanClaw will ask you about your role, your day-to-day work, your goals, your biggest problems, and your company / team — one question at a time. Be honest, be short.
  4. Let it create the my_persona skill. At the end, ToqanClaw will package your answers into a skill that auto-loads before any future task — no copy-paste needed next time.
prompt · onboarding
Hi! I want you to get to know me at work so every future chat is
already grounded in my context. Ask me five short questions, one at a
time, covering:

  1. What is your role / job title?
  2. What do you actually do day-to-day?
  3. What are your current goals (this quarter / this year)?
  4. What are the biggest problems or blockers you keep running into?
  5. What company / team are you part of?

Wait for my answer before moving to the next question. Once I've
answered all five, create a skill called my_persona that captures
this context. The skill must:

  • Be loaded and consulted before any task in any future chat.
  • Be used to tailor every answer to my role, goals, and problems.
  • Be easy to update later as my context changes.

Finish by showing me the saved my_persona skill so I can confirm it.
Info · what just happened

What you just did has a name: you taught ToqanClaw a skill. Skills are small sets of saved instructions it can pull off the shelf when needed — like the tools in a workshop, each one shaped for a particular job. The full toolbox gets unpacked in Section 3.

02

To start, feel the claws

Three short exercises that push you straight into the deep end of the kiddie pool. Build something tiny, build something playful, build something useful.

EX2.1
Build · 15 min Snake game

Build the classic snake game from a single prompt. No code, no setup — ToqanClaw constructs it and deploys it to a real link you can play.

Goal

Have a working, playable snake game running in your browser within fifteen minutes — without touching a single line of code by hand.

  1. Open a new conversation. Same drill as Exercise 1 — the small + next to the "New chat" tab gives you a fresh blank slate.
  2. Paste the starter prompt. Copy the block below, drop it into the message box, send. Then sit back — building takes a minute or two.
  3. Play the result. When ToqanClaw is done deploying, head to the Apps tab in the side panel — your new snake game sits there. Click it to play.
  4. Ask for a twist. Don't like the speed? Hate the colors? Want a high score in the corner? Describe the change in the same chat and watch it update.
prompt · snake
Make me a playable snake game I can run in a browser.
- One single HTML file, no setup steps.
- Arrow keys to move, food appears at random.
- Game over when the snake bites itself.
- Use a warm orange palette on a cream background.

Once the game works, use the deploying-with-claw-apps skill
to deploy it as a new app. I'll open it from the Apps tab.
Tip

If the first version isn't quite right, don't start over — just describe the change. "Make it faster," "make the snake blue," "add a score in the corner." Small nudges, one at a time.

Info · what just happened

You turned a chat into an app. The magic phrase is "deploy with Claw Apps" — when you ask for that, ToqanClaw packages what you just built into a real, live app and parks it in the Apps tab — open it from there any time, or share it with a colleague. Every build exercise from here uses the same trick: build first, then ask to deploy with Claw Apps.

EX2.2
Build · 20 min Catch the Lobster

Different game, same trick. Describe a chase-the-lobster game and watch how a small change in the prompt produces a completely different result.

Goal

Build a chase game from scratch — human sprite, WASD controls, a lobster with a mind of its own — and learn how a small change to the description produces a completely different kind of game.

  1. Open a new conversation. Same drill — the small + next to the "New chat" tab gives you a fresh blank slate.
  2. Paste the prompt. Copy the block below, send it. ToqanClaw builds the playfield, the sprite, and the wandering lobster — give it a minute or two.
  3. Play the chase. Open the Apps tab in the side panel and click your new app to launch it. WASD to move, score goes up every time you tag the lobster.
  4. Make it yours. Want the lobster faster? A timer? Confetti when you catch one? Describe the change in the same chat — same pattern as Snake.
prompt · catch the lobster
Build a one-page mini-game called "Catch the Lobster".

- The player is a small human sprite running around a cream-coloured
  playfield. They move with WASD keys — smooth movement, not grid steps.
- A lobster wanders the playfield in random directions, changing course
  every second or two. Keep it fast enough to be tricky to catch.
- When the player touches the lobster, the score goes up by 1 and the
  lobster teleports somewhere else on the field.
- Show the score in the top-right, in big chunky type.
- Use chunky, friendly shapes — no thin lines. Orange for the lobster,
  a friendly brown for the human.

One HTML file. Once the game works, use the deploying-with-claw-apps
skill to deploy it as a new app. I'll open it from the Apps tab.
EX2.3
Build · 25 min Visualize your data — Your first dashboard

Pick a spreadsheet below, attach it, paste the prompt. ToqanClaw turns rows of data into a polished dashboard you'd happily show a colleague.

Goal

Turn a small spreadsheet into a clean, presentable dashboard you can keep open in a browser tab.

  1. Open a new conversation. Same drill — the small + next to the "New chat" tab.
  2. Download one of the CSVs. Three options sit just below — pick whichever feels closest to your day job and click Download CSV. The file lands in your downloads folder.
  3. Drag the file into the chat. Drop it straight onto the message box — ToqanClaw picks it up as an attachment. The filename will appear just below the box once it's in.
  4. Paste the prompt. Copy the block under the cards, drop it in, send. ToqanClaw reads the file, builds the dashboard, and deploys it.
  5. Open the dashboard. Head to the Apps tab in the side panel — your dashboard sits there, click to open it in a new tab. Share the link with a colleague from there.

Pick one — whichever feels closest to your day job.

prompt · first dashboard
I've attached a spreadsheet to this conversation.

First, take a quick look and tell me in one sentence
what this data is about.

Then build me a single-page dashboard:
- Three big numbers at the top — the ones a busy
  person would want to know first.
- Two small charts below that tell the story of the data.
- A short paragraph at the bottom called "What stands out",
  written like a friendly note from a colleague.

Use the ToqanClaw palette: orange accents on cream,
with a touch of pink. Friendly labels, no jargon.

Once the dashboard works, use the deploying-with-claw-apps skill
to deploy it as a new app. I'll open it from the Apps tab.
Warning

Never upload a spreadsheet you wouldn't be comfortable sharing with your manager. If a column contains private information, remove or redact it first.

03

Meet your toolbox

A skill is a small set of saved instructions ToqanClaw can pick up when it needs them — for writing in a particular voice, building a particular artifact, or sticking to a particular workflow. You already taught it one in Exercise 1. This section is about what else they unlock.

3.1Skills

A skill is a reusable set of instructions that helps ToqanClaw perform a task in a specific way — whether that's writing in a certain tone, following a workflow, or creating a particular type of output. Instead of repeating the same prompts every time, skills make results faster, sharper, and more consistent.

Skills also help teams work better together. Once someone discovers a great workflow, it can be saved, reused, and shared across the team. Complex tasks become simple prompts, and everyone works from the same playbook.

3.2Share the skills

Skills become even more powerful when shared. The Skills marketplace lets you browse and install skills created by others, or publish your own for the wider team to use.

This makes great workflows easy to spread. A skill that creates polished meeting notes, decks, or updates can be shared in one click — and improved over time so everyone benefits from the latest version automatically.

04

More claws

Three more exercises that lean on the skills you just met. Use the toolbox, ship something a little more grown-up.

EX3.1
Build · 25 min · uses skill: Rock your slides Rock your slides

Bring three bullet points of any presentation you owe someone. Install the pre-built Rock your slides skill and ToqanClaw turns it into a polished Prosus-styled deck.

Goal

Take a rough outline and turn it into a polished short deck with clear titles, a consistent look, and one good closing slide.

Skill Download · Rock your slides create-prosus-presentation.zip
  1. Download the skill. Click the Download skill button above. The .zip file lands in your downloads folder.
  2. Install it in ToqanClaw. Open the Skills tab in the side panel. At the bottom-left, click Upload skill and pick the .zip you just downloaded. It'll show up in the skill list a second later.
  3. Open a new conversation. Small + next to the "New chat" tab — same as every other exercise.
  4. Paste the prompt. Copy the block below, drop your outline into the highlighted spot, and send. ToqanClaw will pick the skill up automatically and build the deck.
  5. Iterate on the deck. Don't love a slide? Say so. Want a punchier closing? Describe it. Same one-message-per-change rhythm as before.
prompt · slides
Use the create-prosus-presentation skill.
Here's my rough outline:
[paste your bullet points]

Give me a 4-slide deck. Confident tone, no jargon, one big idea
per slide, a strong closing slide that tells me what to do next.
Where the deck lands

When ToqanClaw finishes building, the .pptx file ends up in the Files tab (usually under /data/). ToqanClaw will tell you the exact path in its reply — head to the Files tab, open that folder, and download the deck from there.

EX4.2
Build · 10 min · creates skill: my_voice Write like you

Answer a few quick questions about how you write — channels, tone, the words you live in. ToqanClaw saves the result as a my_voice skill it picks up whenever you ask it to draft or rewrite a message.

Goal

Save your writing voice as a my_voice skill so ToqanClaw can rewrite future drafts — emails, Slack, anything — and have them sound genuinely like you.

  1. Open a fresh conversation. Click the small + next to the "New chat" tab. A blank tab slides in — that's where you'll work.
  2. Paste the prompt below. Hit the Copy button in the prompt's top-right corner, then paste it into the message box and send.
  3. Answer the interview. ToqanClaw will ask up to five short questions about how you write — one at a time. It'll also ask for two or three real messages you sent recently so it can pick up the rhythm. Paste them in as-is.
  4. Let it create the my_voice skill. ToqanClaw packages your answers and samples into a skill that loads whenever you ask for a draft or rewrite — no copy-paste needed next time.
prompt · build my_voice
Hi! I want you to learn how I write so future drafts can sound
like me. Interview me with at most five short questions, one at a
time, covering things like:

  1. What I write most — email, Slack, docs?
  2. How I'd describe my tone (formal / casual / warm / dry)?
  3. Openings, sign-offs, or phrases I always — or never — use.
  4. Things I want to avoid (emoji, exclamation marks, jargon).
  5. Two or three short samples of real emails or Slack
     messages I sent recently, so you can pick up the rhythm.

Wait for my answer before moving to the next question. Once I've
answered, create a skill called my_voice that captures my style.
The skill must:

  • Be loaded whenever I ask you to draft or rewrite a message.
  • Rewrite drafts in my voice while preserving the meaning.
  • Be easy to update later as my style evolves.

Finish by showing me the saved my_voice skill so I can confirm it.

What's next

You've onboarded ToqanClaw, built two games, shipped a dashboard, deployed three apps, and dropped two skills into your toolbox. The booklet officially ends here. Two last nudges before you close the tab — one opens a doorway, one closes the loop with your team.

BONUS
Bonus · 15 min · uses MCPs: Google Workspace Your daily morning briefing

Connect ToqanClaw to Google Workspace. A fresh briefing of today's meetings — with the relevant emails pulled in — lands in your chat at 8:30 every morning.

Goal

Get a short briefing for the day ahead, with relevant email context pulled in automatically — and set it to land in your chat at 8:30 every morning.

Heads-up · IT permissions

If Connect or Authorize fails for either MCP, your IT team is blocking third-party access. Ping them to allow ToqanClaw, and skip this one in the meantime.

  1. Open the MCPs tab. Right side of the screen.
  2. Open the marketplace. Click the purple shop icon at the top of the panel.
  3. Connect Google Workspace. Find each one in the list, click Connect, and authorize when prompted. Same flow for both.
  4. Open a new conversation. Small + next to the "New chat" tab.
  5. Paste the prompt. ToqanClaw writes the briefing and schedules itself for tomorrow.
prompt · daily briefing
Look at my calendar for today. For each meeting:

- Who I'm meeting and what the meeting is about.
- Recent context from Gmail — emails and threads
  with those people that connect to the topic (anything unread,
  unanswered, or discussed in the last week).
- A short "what I should prep" — one or two bullets, concrete.

Stitch it all into a short briefing with the meetings in
chronological order. Friendly tone, no jargon. Show it right
here in the chat — easy to scan, no file needed.

Then make this a recurring task at 8:30 every morning, so I get
a fresh briefing for that day's meetings waiting for me when I
open ToqanClaw.
What just happened

The MCPs tab is how ToqanClaw reaches into your other apps. Same trick works for Slack, Linear, Monday, Miro, and more — browse the marketplace any time you catch yourself copy-pasting.

Info · scheduled sessions

That last line is a quiet superpower: ToqanClaw can run scheduled sessions. If a task could be a habit — daily briefing, Friday recap, monthly portfolio scan — just ask once and say when to repeat.

LAST
Challenge · 5 min Share your tool

Pick the thing you're proudest of from this session and drop it in #toqanclaw-reimagined on Slack. That's how good workflows spread across the team.

Goal

Share one thing you made with the team, so other people see what's possible — and so you find out how to make yours better.

  1. Pick one. Game, dashboard, deck, briefing, rewrite — whichever made you smile (or surprised you most).
  2. Grab the link or file. From the Apps tab if it's a deployed app, or the Files tab if it's a deck or briefing.
  3. Drop it in #toqanclaw-reimagined. One-line message: what it is, what surprised you, what you'd do differently next time. That's the whole challenge.

Common questions

The first questions everyone asks before they get comfortable. If yours isn't here, the "Get help" button at the bottom-right is real.

No. You describe what you want in plain language. Coding is something you can ask for — not something you need to bring.
Each new conversation starts from a blank page. If you want it to remember something, save a short profile (the first exercise teaches you how) and paste it in next time.
Treat ToqanClaw like a smart colleague — you wouldn't hand them a sealed envelope, but you also wouldn't whisper company secrets to them in an elevator. Use common sense, and never paste anything you wouldn't share with a co-worker.
It happens, especially on numbers and recent events. Treat answers like a colleague's first draft — useful, but worth a quick gut-check before you forward it on.
Regular chat is the all-purpose mode. A skill is the same brain, but with a particular outfit on — tuned to be especially good at one thing, like slides or research.
Yes — that's what the MCP tab is for. Think of it as the hallway between ToqanClaw and the other apps you already use. You decide which doors are unlocked.
Because the name is ToqanClaw, and we wouldn't dream of putting a generic robot on the box. Friendly tools deserve friendly mascots.
Drop a message in our Slack channel — #toqanclaw-reimagined on Prosus Slack (the "Get help" button in the bottom-right corner of this page takes you straight there). Someone will pick it up. Stuck-ness is usually a five-minute fix — don't sit with it for an hour.
