optio-claudecode 0.2.0

Run Anthropic Claude Code as an optio task; local subprocess or remote via SSH; ttyd-served TUI iframe.

optio-claudecode

Run Anthropic Claude Code as an optio task — either as a local subprocess or on a remote host over SSH — with the interactive TUI embedded in the optio dashboard via an iframe widget served by ttyd.

Install

pip install optio-claudecode

Requires Python 3.11+. Pulls optio-core, optio-host, and asyncssh.

On task start the package auto-installs the host binaries it needs unless told otherwise:

• claude — via Anthropic's vendor script (https://claude.ai/install.sh)
• ttyd — static binary from tsl0922/ttyd GitHub Releases

Quick start

from optio_claudecode import (
    ClaudeCodeTaskConfig,
    create_claudecode_task,
)

def get_tasks():
    return [
        create_claudecode_task(
            process_id="example-task",
            name="Example",
            config=ClaudeCodeTaskConfig(
                consumer_instructions="Please write a haiku about MongoDB.",
                credentials_json=load_user_creds_from_db(user_id),
                # Optional: skip interactive permission prompts for autonomous flows.
                permission_mode="bypassPermissions",
            ),
        )
    ]

credentials_json is treated as an opaque payload and written verbatim to <workdir>/home/.claude/.credentials.json (mode 0600) before claude launches. Format follows whatever Anthropic's CLI currently expects.

How it works

Each task gets a workdir tempdir (/tmp/optio-claudecode-<uuid>/). The ttyd process is launched with HOME=<workdir>/home, so claude reads all its state — credentials, settings, session history — strictly from the per-task workdir and never touches the host user's real ~/.claude/. Two tasks on the same host can run concurrently without shared-state races.

The agent is given a <workdir>/CLAUDE.md that includes the optio.log coordination protocol — STATUS: / DELIVERABLE: / DONE / ERROR — verbatim from optio_host.agents. The same protocol is used by optio-opencode, so the same consumer_instructions can be swapped between the two packages.
