At a glance

Use claudraband CLI and daemon workflows programmatically to send prompts, resume sessions, inspect status, and manage live session state.

  • Automating Claude Code via claudraband/cband
  • SKILL.md covers Commands, Common flags, Prompt/select behavior and Gotchas
  • Calls node, bun and npx
  • Including startup prompt handling

What it does

Claudraband is an agent skill from halfwhey/claudraband. Use claudraband CLI and daemon workflows programmatically to send prompts, resume sessions, inspect status, and manage live session state. Use when running, scripting, or automating Claude Code via claudraband/cband, including startup prompt handling, --connect daemon mode, and ACP sessions.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for the Power User. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Automating Claude Code via claudraband/cband
  • Including startup prompt handling
  • --connect daemon mode

Example prompts

  • “/claudraband”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2b6a7d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • bun
    • npx
    • bunx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Claudraband loads about 947 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~947

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use claudraband CLI and daemon workflows programmatically to send prompts, resume sessions, inspect status, and manage live session state. Use when running, scripting, or automating Claude Code via claudraband/`cband`, including startup prompt handling, `--connect` daemon mode, and ACP sessions.

Claudraband CLI

claudraband wraps Claude Code in a controlled terminal workflow for persistent sessions.

The package also installs cband as a shorthand alias.

Local built binary: node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js or bun packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js

Published binary: cband via npx @halfwhey/claudraband or bunx @halfwhey/claudraband

Commands

Start prompt (default)
bash
cband "review this diff"
# equivalent to: cband prompt
Send a prompt to a session
bash
cband prompt [--session <id>] [--select <choice>] [--connect <host:port>] <text...>
  • Without --session, starts a new session.
  • With --session, resumes a saved session.
  • With --select, answers a pending permission/prompt flow before continuing.
  • --select and startup handling are documented under "Prompt and send flags" below.
Send input without waiting
bash
cband send --session <id> [--select <choice>] <text...>

Returns immediately after delivery.

Stream events
bash
cband watch --session <id> [--pretty] [--no-follow]
Interrupt a live turn
bash
cband interrupt --session <id>
Inspect and monitor
bash
cband status --session <id> [--json]
cband last --session <id> [--json]
Attach to a live session
bash
cband attach <session-id>
List and close tracked sessions
bash
cband sessions [--cwd <dir>]
cband sessions close <session-id>
cband sessions close --cwd <dir>
cband sessions close --all
Daemon mode
bash
cband serve [--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 7842]
# create new daemon sessions via:
cband --connect localhost:7842 "start a migration plan"
ACP
bash
cband acp [--model opus]

cband acp runs claudraband as an ACP stdio server.

Common flags

  • --session <id> — resume (prompt, send) or target (watch, interrupt, status, last) a session
  • --cwd <dir> — working directory filter for new sessions and sessions
  • --model <model> — haiku, sonnet, or opus
  • --permission-mode <mode> — default, plan, auto, acceptEdits, dontAsk, bypassPermissions
  • --auto-accept-startup-prompts — auto-resolve startup prompts (trust-folder / bypass-permissions)
  • --backend <auto|tmux|xterm> — xterm is still experimental
  • -c, --claude "<flags>" — passthrough Claude flags
  • --json — JSON output for status, last, watch
  • --pretty — human-readable watch output
  • --no-follow — exit after next turn_end for live sessions
  • --connect <host:port> — route new sessions through daemon
  • --select <choice> — answer a pending question/permission prompt on a session

Prompt/select behavior

--select is supported on prompt and send only.

  • Use with --session <id>.
  • Values are Claude raw option numbers.
  • If a selected option expects free text, pass it after --select:
bash
cband prompt --session <id> --select 3 "new direction"

If a new session hits a startup permission question it will print the session id and then wait for a follow-up --select unless --auto-accept-startup-prompts is enabled.

Gotchas

  • prompt --select waits for the turn after selection; send --select is fire-and-forget.
  • sessions lists only live tracked sessions from ~/.claudraband/.
  • attach and --select require a live tracked session.
  • Prefer local usage with tmux for reliability; xterm remains experimental.
