Quick Start

python scripts/claude_bridge.py --cd "/path/to/project" --PROMPT "Analyze auth flow"

Output: JSON with success, SESSION_ID, agent_messages, stream_file (the raw Claude JSONL stream), and optional all_messages, stderr, or error.

Runtime Contract

• Default execution uses claude -p and does not force --safe-mode, --bare, --disable-slash-commands, or --strict-mcp-config.
• Claude Code therefore keeps its normal loading path for trusted-workspace customizations such as CLAUDE.md, skills, plugins, MCP servers, custom commands, and rules.
• claude -p skips the interactive trust dialog and silently ignores invalid settings files, so use this only in workspaces you already trust and whose .claude settings already validate.
• The bridge requests stream-json, persists each record immediately, and only treats Claude's final result record as a completed answer. Intermediate assistant records never mask a failed or incomplete turn.
• On Windows the PROMPT is delivered through stdin when claude resolves to a .cmd/.bat shim, so the prompt never passes through cmd.exe quoting and cannot hit the command-line length limit.

Parameters

usage: claude_bridge.py [-h] --PROMPT PROMPT --cd CD [--SESSION_ID SESSION_ID]
                        [--model MODEL]
                        [--permission-mode {,acceptEdits,auto,bypassPermissions,manual,dontAsk,plan}]
                        [--dangerously-skip-permissions] [--timeout TIMEOUT]
                        [--stream-file STREAM_FILE] [--return-all-messages]
                        {mcp,plugin} ...

options:
  --PROMPT PROMPT                Instruction for the task to send to Claude Code.
  --cd CD                        Workspace root for Claude Code (cwd + --add-dir).
  --SESSION_ID SESSION_ID        Resume a conversation by session UUID.
  --model MODEL                  Claude model override. Aliases resolve against the active endpoint.
  --permission-mode ...          Claude permission mode override.
  --dangerously-skip-permissions Bypass Claude permission checks.
  --timeout TIMEOUT              Bridge-level timeout in seconds. Omit for no bridge deadline.
  --stream-file STREAM_FILE      Raw Claude stream-json JSONL destination.
  --return-all-messages          Include parsed stream records in the result.

subcommands:
  mcp                            Thin passthrough to `claude mcp`.
  plugin                         Thin passthrough to `claude plugin`.

Sessions

Capture SESSION_ID from the first successful response and reuse it for follow-ups. SESSION_ID is empty when a run never established a session (claude produced no stream output): resume only with an id the bridge actually returned.

# New Claude session
python scripts/claude_bridge.py --cd "/project" --PROMPT "Inspect failing tests"

# Resume the same Claude session
python scripts/claude_bridge.py --cd "/project" --SESSION_ID "uuid-from-response" --PROMPT "Now propose the fix"

Passthrough
