ClaudeCode

ClaudeCode is an open source Anthropic Claude Code with Rust implementation. It is a local coding-agent CLI that provides an interactive agent shell, one-shot prompts, workspace-aware tools, plugin support, and resumeable sessions.

Start here

1. Install Rust stable and Cargo.
2. Set up credentials for the model provider you want to use.
3. Run the CLI from the rust/ workspace.

First run

From the repository root:

cd rust

Build the CLI:

cargo build --release -p claw-cli

Start the interactive shell:

cargo run --bin claw -- --help
cargo run --bin claw --

Run a single prompt:

cargo run --bin claw -- prompt "summarize this workspace"

Install it locally if you want the binary on your PATH:

cargo install --path crates/claw-cli --locked

Authentication

Use whichever provider you have access to.

Anthropic-compatible models:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.anthropic.com"

Grok models:

export XAI_API_KEY="..."
export XAI_BASE_URL="https://api.x.ai"

You can also authenticate through the CLI:

cargo run --bin claw -- login
