openclaw-claude-code
Programmable bridge that turns coding CLIs into headless, agentic engines — persistent sessions, multi-engine orchestration, multi-agent council, and dynamic runtime control.
Why This Exists
Claude Code and Codex are powerful coding CLIs, but they're designed for interactive use. If you want AI agents to programmatically drive coding sessions — start them, send tasks, manage context, coordinate teams, switch models mid-conversation — you need a control layer.
This project wraps coding CLIs and exposes their capabilities as a clean, tool-based API. Your agents get persistent sessions, real-time streaming, multi-model routing, multi-engine support, and multi-agent council orchestration.
Why not just use the Claude API directly? The API gives you completions. This gives you a fully managed coding agent — file editing, tool use, git awareness, context management, and multi-turn conversations — all without building the orchestration yourself.
Quick Start
One-line install (recommended):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enderfga/openclaw-claude-code/main/install.sh | bash
This installs via npm, registers the plugin in openclaw.json, and restarts the gateway automatically.
