A command-line interface for interacting with Anthropic's Claude Opus AI model.
- Clone the repository or download the
claudescript.
wget -O ./claude https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paralin/claude/master/claude
- Make the script executable:
chmod +x claude
- (optional) Move the script to a directory in your PATH, e.g.:
cp claude ~/.local/bin/
Set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
To use the CLI, simply run the claude command followed by your input text:
./claude
Rewrite this program correctly: <code>stdos.stdout.logthis("hello world")</code>
Then press ctrl+d to end the input.
You can also pipe input to the script:
echo "Hello, how are you?" | claude
Or a file:
cat prompt.txt | claude
If you're feeling brave:
echo "Show me what is in my home directory." | claude bash | bash
The script supports predefined templates. To use a template, pass its name as the first argument:
claude spanish "Hello, how are you?"
Available templates:
spanish: Translates the input text to Spanish (basic example).bash: Output an executable bash script from the input.
- Anthropic for creating the Claude AI model.
- litellm for the Python library to interact with the Anthropic API.
