Agent Shell

Agent Shell is a light weight abstraction for executing a cli coding agent headlessly and returning the output that can be used programatically as a unified contract

Examples

Execute

from agent_shell.shell import AgentShell
from agent_shell.models.agent import AgentType

shell = AgentShell(agent_type=AgentType.CLAUDE_CODE)

response = await shell.execute(
    cwd="/path/to/project",
    prompt="Can you tell me about this project?",
    allowed_tools=["Read", "Glob", "Grep"],
    model="sonnet",
)

print(response.response)
print(f"Cost: ${response.cost:.4f}")

Stream

from agent_shell.shell import AgentShell
from agent_shell.models.agent import AgentType

shell = AgentShell(agent_type=AgentType.CLAUDE_CODE)

async for event in shell.stream(
    cwd="/path/to/project",
    prompt="Refactor the auth module",
    allowed_tools=["Read", "Edit", "Bash"],
    model="sonnet",
    effort="high",
    include_thinking=True,
):
    print(f"[{event.type}] {event.content}")
