What is Claude Code Controller?
The Claude Code Controller is an advanced skill designed to provide full control over the Anthropic Claude Code terminal-based coding agent within the Openclaw environment. It allows developers to leverage high-reasoning AI models for complex programming tasks, including project-aware feature implementation and deep codebase analysis. By utilizing Openclaw Skills and the Agent Control Protocol (ACP), this tool creates a secure, isolated runtime for long-running coding sessions, ensuring that your primary agent interaction remains focused while heavy-duty engineering happens in the background.
Claude Code Controller Use Cases
- Implementing full-stack features from natural language requirements.
- Conducting automated code reviews and identifying performance bottlenecks.
- Executing large-scale code refactoring for better maintainability.
- Generating comprehensive documentation and unit tests for existing modules.
- Debugging complex issues by analyzing project-wide context and logs.
How Claude Code Controller Works
- The user triggers a task using the /claudecode command within Openclaw Skills.
- The controller initializes an isolated ACP session to launch the Claude Code CLI.
- The agent scans the local project directory to build a structural and contextual map.
- Claude Code executes a multi-step engineering plan, utilizing tools for file reading, editing, and shell command execution.
- Upon completion, the controller syncs the changes and provides a summary of the results back to the main session.
Claude Code Controller Setup
To start using this skill within Openclaw Skills, first install the Claude Code CLI globally:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Next, configure your API credentials:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"
Finally, initialize your project by creating a .claude/settings.json file in your project root to define permissions and model preferences.
Claude Code Controller Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages its operation through a specific file and directory structure:
| Data Type | Description | Path |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Model selection and tool permission settings. | .claude/settings.json |
| Execution Logs | Detailed logs of every CLI session and agent action. | ~/.claude/logs/latest.log |
| Custom Tools | User-defined scripts to extend agent capabilities. | ~/.claude/tools/ |
| Project Context | Metadata and indexing info for the codebase. | .claude/ |
Claude Code Controller Advanced Features
- Multi-model support allowing users to switch between Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku based on task complexity.
- Custom tool integration allowing the agent to execute proprietary bash scripts for specialized build or test workflows.
- Project templates for Express, React, and Python to accelerate the setup of new microservices.
- Isolated session management via ACP, preventing context contamination and allowing for concurrent engineering tasks.
