Claude Cli Agent

Claude Code CLI (claude -p) Executor

When to use

• User wants Claude Code / claude as the coding agent
• Need ultracode, workflows, --agents, or worktree isolation from an orchestrator
• Read-only second opinions (-r plan mode)

For cross-CLI councils, pair with multi-cli-spawn.

Wrapper

./claude-exec.sh -C /path/to/repo "Implement X; stop when done."
./claude-exec.sh -r -C /path/to/repo "Second opinion on this design"
./claude-exec.sh -T -C /path/to/repo "Large audit — use ultracode workflows"
./claude-exec.sh -e high -m sonnet -o json -f /tmp/bundle.txt
./claude-exec.sh -w task-branch --agents '{"reviewer":{"description":"Reviews","prompt":"You review code"}}' "…"

Flags: -m · -t · -C · -o text|json|stream-json · -f · -r (plan mode) · -T/--ultracode → --effort ultracode + multi-agent preamble · -P permission-mode · -e effort · -w worktree · --agents JSON · --allowed-tools · --disallowed-tools · --add-dir · --system-prompt · --append-system-prompt · --mcp-config · --strict-mcp-config · --bare · --ask-permissions · --no-git · -- passthrough.

Default executor uses --dangerously-skip-permissions. Setting -P or -r clears that skip. Prefer capturing stdout for reports. -C is absolutized before use.

Native multi-agent / ultracode

| Mechanism | What it is | How to enable | |-----------|------------|---------------| | Dynamic workflows | JS orchestration script fans out many subagents | Ask for a workflow, or keyword ultracode | | ultracode | Session policy: xhigh effort + auto-workflow for substantive tasks | -T / --effort ultracode / interactive /effort ultracode | | --agents JSON | Custom agent definitions for the session | --agents '{...}' | | claude agents | Manage background agents | Separate subcommand | | Agent teams | Small peer set that renegotiates live | Product feature; see Claude Code docs | | --worktree | Isolated git worktree for the session | -w [name] |

After a heavy ultracode session, drop back to normal effort for routine edits (token cost).

Pitfalls

• --bare can break OAuth login for normal reviews — avoid unless you intend API-key-only
• Do not put multi-KB $(cat brief) immediately after --allowedTools (parser confusion)
• Plan mode cannot Write — if you need an answer file, allow Write or redirect stdout

Discipline

Exit code untrusted. Orchestrator owns git. This skill is not the OMX ask-claude artifact helper.
