Claude Dialog - An interactive CLI for conversations with Claude AI

This library provides a command-line interface for having continuous conversations with Claude AI. It handles argument parsing, command execution, dialog management, and terminal UI rendering.

Architecture

The library is organized into the following modules:

• cli: Command-line argument parsing and validation
• prompt: System prompt configuration and loading
• claude_executor: Claude command building and execution
• dialog: Main dialog loop and conversation flow management
• ui: Terminal user interface with colored output

Example Usage

use claude_dialog::{cli, dialog, prompt, ui};

// Parse command-line arguments
let args = cli::parse_args(vec!["claude-dialog", "--model", "claude-3-opus"])?;

// Load system prompt
let prompt_config = prompt::SystemPromptConfig {
    system_prompt_files: args.system_prompt_files,
    append_prompt_file: args.append_prompt_file,
};
let system_prompt = prompt::load_system_prompt(prompt_config)?;

// Create dialog configuration
let config = dialog::DialogConfig { 
    system_prompt: if !system_prompt.is_empty() { Some(system_prompt) } else { None },
    append_prompt: None,
    model: args.model,
};

// Display welcome message
ui::UI::print_welcome("Using default prompt", config.model.as_ref());

// Start the dialog loop
let dialog_loop = dialog::DialogLoop::new(config);
dialog_loop.run().await?;
