autoclaude-cli 1.20.1

Local runner for AutoClaude. Executes orchestration plans with your Claude Max/Pro subscription.

autoclaude-cli

Local runner for AutoClaude. Executes orchestration plans handed down from the server using your own Claude Max/Pro subscription. The server never pays for tokens.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Claude Code CLI on $PATH (claude --version works) and a Max or Pro subscription signed in.
• gh CLI signed in with access to the target repo.
• Git.

Install

With uv (recommended):

uv tool install autoclaude-cli

Or with pipx:

pipx install autoclaude-cli

Don't have uv yet? Install it first:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh          # macOS / Linux
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"   # Windows

During development, install from source:

uv tool install --force .      # or: pipx install --force ./

Quickstart

# 1. Authenticate once. Defaults to https://app.grezy.com.
#    Login also installs two per-user services:
#      - heartbeat  (always-on liveness ping; never paused)
#      - scheduler  (runs `autoclaude tick` every 15 minutes)
autoclaude login
autoclaude login --url localhost:3001        # point at a local frontend

# 2. Verify everything is wired up.
autoclaude diag
autoclaude services         # heartbeat + scheduler status

# 3. Fire a tick manually if you don't want to wait for the scheduler.
autoclaude tick

Pause / resume / switch server

autoclaude pause                  # stop scheduled ticks (heartbeat keeps running)
autoclaude play                   # resume scheduled ticks
autoclaude switch staging         # change active profile and rebind both services

pause only stops the scheduler. The heartbeat is always on so the dashboard's "Active CLIs" KPI stays accurate.

Profiles

autoclaude supports multiple named profiles (stored in ~/.config/autoclaude/config.toml). Each profile holds one URL, its API key, and an optional repo checkout.

autoclaude login                                        # default profile -> prod
autoclaude --profile staging login --url https://stage.example.com
autoclaude --profile staging tick
AUTOCLAUDE_PROFILE=staging autoclaude tick

List configured profiles and switch the active one persistently:

autoclaude profiles          # list profiles, * marks active
autoclaude use staging       # set active profile (persists in config.toml)

--url accepts localhost:3001 (http is assumed) or a full https://… URL. Override at runtime with AUTOCLAUDE_URL / AUTOCLAUDE_API_KEY.

How it works

1. CLI mirrors the source repo into $AUTOCLAUDE_HOME/repos/<slug>/ (defaults to ~/.autoclaude/repos/<slug>/); subsequent ticks just fetch.
2. CLI fetches the current plan from GET /api/ac/runner/context/.
3. After opening the tick, CLI creates a dedicated git worktree at $AUTOCLAUDE_HOME/worktrees/<slug>/<tick_id>/ on branch autoclaude/<slug>/tick-<tick_id>.
4. For each step in the plan:
   • Spawns claude -p "<prompt>" inside the worktree. The user's checkout is never modified.
5. Closes the tick with the outcome and cost report, removes the worktree, and keeps the branch so the changes remain inspectable.

Override the workspace root with the AUTOCLAUDE_HOME environment variable.
