Delegate coding tasks to Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI agent). Use for building features, refactoring, PR reviews, and iterative coding. Requires the claude CLI installed.
Delegate coding tasks to Claude Code via the A9N terminal. Claude Code is Anthropic's autonomous coding agent CLI.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeclaude once to log inpty=true in terminal calls — Claude Code is an interactive terminal appterminal(command="claude 'Add error handling to the API calls'", workdir="/path/to/project", pty=true)
For quick scratch work:
terminal(command="cd $(mktemp -d) && git init && claude 'Build a REST API for todos'", pty=true)
For tasks that take minutes, use background mode so you can monitor progress:
# Start in background with PTY
terminal(command="claude 'Refactor the auth module to use JWT'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Returns session_id
# Monitor progress
process(action="poll", session_id="<id>")
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")
# Send input if Claude asks a question
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="yes")
# Kill if needed
process(action="kill", session_id="<id>")
Clone to a temp directory to avoid modifying the working tree:
terminal(command="REVIEW=$(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git $REVIEW && cd $REVIEW && gh pr checkout 42 && claude 'Review this PR against main. Check for bugs, security issues, and style.'", pty=true)
Or use git worktrees:
terminal(command="git worktree add /tmp/pr-42 pr-42-branch", workdir="~/project")
terminal(command="claude 'Review the changes in this branch vs main'", workdir="/tmp/pr-42", pty=true)
Spawn multiple Claude Code instances for independent tasks:
terminal(command="claude 'Fix the login bug'", workdir="/tmp/issue-1", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="claude 'Add unit tests for auth'", workdir="/tmp/issue-2", background=true, pty=true)
# Monitor all
process(action="list")
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
claude 'prompt' | One-shot task, exits when done |
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions | Auto-approve all file changes |
claude --model <model> | Use a specific model |
pty=true — Claude Code is an interactive terminal app and will hang without a PTYworkdir — keep the agent focused on the right directorybackground=true and monitor with process toolpoll/log, don't kill sessions because they're slow
