What is code-with-claude?
The code-with-claude skill is an essential technical resource for developers looking to maximize their efficiency within the Claude Code terminal environment. It provides a structured map of the CLI's capabilities, including interactive modes, permission tiers, and native toolsets. By integrating this reference into your Openclaw Skills library, you enable a more sophisticated interaction between the AI agent and your local development environment.
This skill goes beyond basic command usage, offering deep insights into how to manage conversation context, utilize automated checkpointing for file safety, and extend the CLI through custom plugins. It is designed to help users move from simple prompts to complex, multi-tool agentic workflows that leverage the full power of the Claude ecosystem.
code-with-claude Use Cases
- Resuming and managing specific coding sessions using unique session IDs or names.
- Configuring granular permission modes to balance automation with security during file edits.
- Automating development workflows using lifecycle hooks for shell commands and HTTP endpoints.
- Managing large-scale code changes through parallel batch processing and model switching.
- Debugging terminal configurations such as Alt-key shortcuts and environment variable persistence.
How code-with-claude Works
- The skill functions as a high-fidelity documentation layer that agents use to navigate Claude Code features.
- It identifies the correct CLI flags for initializing sessions, such as setting effort levels or model aliases.
- The workflow utilizes in-session slash commands to modify the AI's behavior, clear history, or enter specialized modes like plan mode.
- It leverages built-in tools like Bash, Edit, and Grep to perform file-system operations according to the defined permission mode.
- Advanced users can then trigger hooks or MCP servers to pull external data into the local session via Openclaw Skills.
code-with-claude Setup
To get started with this skill, ensure the Claude Code CLI is globally installed and available in your path. This reference is best used alongside an active Openclaw Skills installation.
# Install the Claude Code CLI
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# Start a new session with a specific effort level
claude --effort high
# Resume a previous worktree session
claude --worktree feature-auth
code-with-claude Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes technical data into several functional categories to ensure the agent uses the most efficient tool for a given task:
| Category | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| CLI Flags | Arguments | Controls launch behavior and initial context. |
| Slash Commands | Session Strings | Modifies the live environment (e.g., /compact, /rewind). |
| Hooks | JSON/YAML | Defines automated reactions to lifecycle events. |
| Tool Registry | Metadata | Lists permissions and capabilities for Bash, Edit, and Read tools. |
| Environment | Var Map | Defines settings via CLAUDE_ENV_FILE or settings.json. |
code-with-claude Advanced Features
- Intelligent Checkpointing: Automatically track file edits with the ability to rewind to specific states using Esc+Esc.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Use the Agent tool to spawn sub-agents with dedicated contexts for specialized tasks.
- Custom Lifecycle Hooks: Execute shell scripts or trigger webhooks at session start, end, or during specific tool events.
- Permission Automation: Utilize the auto mode where an AI classifier determines the safety of operations without manual prompts.
- External Channel Integration: Connect MCP servers to push external data events directly into your Claude Code session using Openclaw Skills.
