What it does
Claudraband is an agent skill from halfwhey/claudraband. Use claudraband CLI to control Claude Code sessions programmatically. Use when running, scripting, or automating Claude Code via the claudraband CLI — sending prompts, listing/resuming sessions, or working in interactive REPL mode. Triggers on any mention of claudraband, claudraband-cli, npx claudraband, bunx claudraband, or automating Claude Code sessions. Used when you need to ask yourself (Claude) a question
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Bun and tmux. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for the Power User. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Automating Claude Code via the claudraband CLI — sending prompts
- Listing/resuming sessions
- Working in interactive REPL mode
- Any mention of claudraband
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:
nodebunnpxbunx
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 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 to control Claude Code sessions programmatically. Use when running, scripting, or automating Claude Code via the claudraband CLI — sending prompts, listing/resuming sessions, or working in interactive REPL mode. Triggers on any mention of claudraband, claudraband-cli, npx claudraband, bunx claudraband, or automating Claude Code sessions. Used when you need to ask yourself (Claude) a question
Claudraband CLI
Claudraband spawns Claude Code in a hidden shared tmux session, tails its JSONL log, and provides a clean command-line interface for sending prompts, streaming output, and managing sessions.
Local built binary: node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js or bun packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js
Published binary: claudraband via npx @halfwhey/claudraband or bunx @halfwhey/claudraband
Commands
Send a prompt
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js "your prompt here"Positional args after flags are concatenated as the prompt. Blocks until Claude finishes all tool calls, then exits.
Interactive REPL
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js -iStarts a read-eval-print loop. Send multiple prompts to the same session without restarting. Exit with Ctrl+D, cancel current prompt with Ctrl+C.
List sessions
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js sessions [--cwd <dir>]Lists resumable sessions for a directory (defaults to cwd). Output per line: <sessionId> <date> <title>.
Sessions are stored at ~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/<sessionId>.jsonl. A session only appears here if the file is >= 100 bytes.
Resume a session
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js resume <sessionId> [prompt...]Resumes a previous session by UUID. Optionally send a new prompt immediately.
Flags
| Flag | Short | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--help | -h | - | Show usage and exit |
--interactive | -i | false | REPL mode |
--cwd <dir> | - | cwd | Working directory for session |
--claude "<flags>" | -c | - | Claude CLI launch flags, e.g. --model sonnet --effort high |
--approve-all | - | false | Auto-select first permission option |
--terminal-backend <backend> | - | auto | auto, tmux, or xterm |
--debug | - | false | Debug logging to stderr |
Permission modes
default-- prompt user for each tool callplan-- plan only, no file editsauto-- bypass all permission checksacceptEdits-- auto-accept file editsdontAsk-- skip all confirmationsbypassPermissions-- dangerously skip everything
Session lifecycle
tmux-backed sessions share a tmux session named claudraband-working-session. Each Claude session gets its own tmux window named with the Claude session ID, and the CLI sends prompts into that window's pane while tailing the JSONL log for events.
Turn completion: detected via 3-second idle timeout after Claude sends a response with no outstanding tool calls. This is not a hard delay -- the idle timer only starts after a response arrives.
Interruption:
Ctrl+Cwhile prompt is running -- sends interrupt to Claude, waits for it to finishCtrl+Cwhile idle -- stops session and exitsCtrl+Din REPL -- exits the loop and stops the session
Show full SKILL.md (190 more words)Show less
Permission prompts
When Claude requests a tool permission, the CLI prints:
Permission: <title>
<description>
1. <option> (<kind>)
2. <option> (<kind>)With --approve-all, the first option is selected automatically and prints -> auto: <option name>.
If stdin is not a TTY and --approve-all is not set, permission is denied automatically.
Tool kinds shown in prompts: read, edit, execute, search, fetch, think, other.
Output
Events stream to stdout with ANSI color:
- Grey -- assistant text
- Bold yellow -- tool call:
> ToolName - Green -- tool result:
+ ToolName - Red -- error:
! message - Dimmed -- thinking blocks and system messages
Use --debug to send diagnostic logs to stderr without polluting stdout.
Common examples
# One-shot prompt
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js "summarize the last 5 commits"
# Interactive with opus
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js -i --claude "--model opus"
# Auto-approve all permissions
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js --approve-all --claude "--permission-mode auto" "run tests and fix failures"
# Resume a session and continue
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js sessions
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js resume 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 "implement what you planned"
# Different working directory
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js --cwd /path/to/repo "what does this do?"
# Debug mode to trace events
node packages/claudraband-cli/dist/bin.js --debug "write a function" 2>debug.logGotchas
- No prompt and no
-i-- exits immediately with an error. Always provide one or the other. - Session not in
sessionslist -- file may be < 100 bytes (e.g. aborted immediately). Check~/.claude/projects/directly. --claude "--permission-mode ..."change mid-session -- requires restarting the session (Claude Code reloads on mode change). Don't change it after the first prompt if you need consistency.--terminal-backend xterm-- fallback for environments without tmux. Slightly less reliable for long sessions; prefertmuxorauto.--approve-allwith non-TTY stdin ----approve-alltakes precedence. Without it, all permissions are denied when stdin is not a TTY (e.g. piped input).
