Rusty Claude CLI

rust/ contains the Rust workspace for the integrated rusty-claude-cli deliverable. It is intended to be something you can clone, build, and run directly.

    └── tools/             # Built-in tool implementations

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain installed (rustup, stable toolchain)
• Network access and Anthropic credentials for live prompt/REPL usage

Build

From the repository root:

cd rust
cargo build --release -p rusty-claude-cli

The optimized binary will be written to:

./target/release/rusty-claude-cli

Test

Run the verified workspace test suite used for release-readiness:

cd rust
cargo test --workspace --exclude compat-harness

Quick start

Show help

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --help

Print version

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --version

Login with OAuth

Configure settings.json with an oauth block containing clientId, authorizeUrl, tokenUrl, optional callbackPort, and optional scopes, then run:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- login

This opens the browser, listens on the configured localhost callback, exchanges the auth code for tokens, and stores OAuth credentials in ~/.claude/credentials.json (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_HOME/credentials.json).

Logout

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- logout

This removes only the stored OAuth credentials and preserves unrelated JSON fields in credentials.json.

Usage examples

1) Prompt mode

Send one prompt, stream the answer, then exit:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- prompt "Summarize the architecture of this repository"

Use a specific model:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 prompt "List the key crates in this workspace"

Restrict enabled tools in an interactive session:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --allowedTools read,glob

2) REPL mode

Start the interactive shell:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli --

Inside the REPL, useful commands include:

/help
/status
/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514
/permissions workspace-write
/cost
/compact
/memory
/config
/init
/diff
/version
/export notes.txt
/session list
/exit

3) Resume an existing session

Inspect or maintain a saved session file without entering the REPL:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --resume session.json /status /compact /cost

You can also inspect memory/config state for a restored session:

cd rust
cargo run -p rusty-claude-cli -- --resume session.json /memory /config

Available commands

Top-level CLI commands

• prompt <text...> — run one prompt non-interactively
• --resume <session.json> [/commands...] — inspect or maintain a saved session
• dump-manifests — print extracted upstream manifest counts
• bootstrap-plan — print the current bootstrap skeleton
• system-prompt [--cwd PATH] [--date YYYY-MM-DD] — render the synthesized system prompt
• --help / -h — show CLI help
• --version / -V — print the CLI version and build info locally (no API call)
• --output-format text|json — choose non-interactive prompt output rendering
• --allowedTools <tool[,tool...]> — restrict enabled tools for interactive sessions and prompt-mode tool use

Interactive slash commands

• /help — show command help
• /status — show current session status
• /compact — compact local session history
• /model [model] — inspect or switch the active model
• /permissions [read-only|workspace-write|danger-full-access] — inspect or switch permissions
• /clear [--confirm] — clear the current local session
• /cost — show token usage totals
• /resume <session-path> — load a saved session into the REPL
• /config [env|hooks|model] — inspect discovered Claude config
• /memory — inspect loaded instruction memory files
• /init — create a starter CLAUDE.md
• /diff — show the current git diff for the workspace
• /version — print version and build metadata locally
• /export [file] — export the current conversation transcript
• /session [list|switch <session-id>] — inspect or switch managed local sessions
• /exit — leave the REPL

Environment variables

Anthropic/API

• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — highest-precedence API credential
• ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN — bearer-token override used when no API key is set
• Persisted OAuth credentials in ~/.claude/credentials.json — used when neither env var is set
• ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL — override the Anthropic API base URL
• ANTHROPIC_MODEL — default model used by selected live integration tests

CLI/runtime

• RUSTY_CLAUDE_PERMISSION_MODE — default REPL permission mode (read-only, workspace-write, or danger-full-access)
• CLAUDE_CONFIG_HOME — override Claude config discovery root
• CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE — enable remote-session bootstrap handling when supported
• CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID — remote session identifier when using remote mode
• CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM — override the upstream TS source path for compat-harness extraction
• CLAWD_WEB_SEARCH_BASE_URL — override the built-in web search service endpoint used by tooling

Notes

• compat-harness exists to compare the Rust port against the upstream TypeScript codebase and is intentionally excluded from the requested release test run.
• The CLI currently focuses on a practical integrated workflow: prompt execution, REPL operation, session inspection/resume, config discovery, and tool/runtime plumbing.
