Core Concepts

Profile

A launch target that resolves provider metadata + auth strategy (built-in provider, OpenRouter alias, or custom provider).

Mode

A named Claude config directory at ~/.claudy/modes/<name>/.

When you run:

claudy <profile> <mode> [args...]

Claudy sets:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claudy/modes/<mode>/

so Claude reads mode-specific config files.

Modes are also a natural fit for dedicated Claude frameworks and toolkits that ship their own CLAUDE.md, skills, agents, or settings — such as gstack, superpowers, ecc, or any custom harness. Instead of polluting your default config, isolate each framework in its own mode:

# Create a dedicated mode for the framework
claudy mode create gstack

# Copy or symlink the framework's config into the mode directory
cp -r /path/to/gstack/.claude/. ~/.claudy/modes/gstack/

# Launch Claude with that framework active
claudy <profile> gstack

Each mode directory is a self-contained CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, so frameworks never conflict with each other or with your default setup.

Supported platforms

Platform	Ingestion	Interactive buttons	Notes
Telegram	Long-polling + webhook	Inline keyboard	Most complete
Slack	Event subscription webhook	Block Kit actions	HMAC-SHA256 verified
Discord	Interaction webhook	Action row components	Ed25519 verified

Channel bot commands

Once running, the bot responds to these commands in chat:

/help — Show available commands
/cancel — Cancel current task
/model — Change Claude model (interactive buttons)
/yolo — Toggle auto-allow permissions
/status — Show session status, profile, mode, git branch, and token usage
/sessions — List recent Claude sessions (with switch buttons)
/projects — List projects (with browse buttons)
/new — Start a new session
/history — Show recent session history

Send any other text to talk directly to Claude.

Permission prompts

When Claude requests approval to use a tool (run a command, edit a file, etc.), the bot sends an interactive Allow/Deny prompt to your chat. Tapping a button sends the response back to Claude and processing continues automatically.

Secrets

Store channel credentials in ~/.claudy/secrets.env (see Provider credentials for full format):

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=...
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-...
SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=...
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=...
DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID=...
DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY=...

Agent MCP bridge

Run claudy mcp to start a stdio-based MCP server that lets Claude Code delegate tasks to other locally installed AI coding agents.

claudy mcp run        # Start the MCP server (called by Claude Code)
claudy mcp install    # Register claudy as an MCP server in Claude Code settings
claudy mcp uninstall  # Remove claudy from Claude Code MCP settings

claudy mcp install automatically registers itself in ~/.claude/settings.json. When you create a mode with claudy mode create <name>, it also registers in the mode's settings file. No manual configuration needed.

To register manually (or in a project-level .claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claudy": {
      "command": "claudy",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code will see an ask_agent tool that exposes all installed agents.

Usage example

Once registered, Claude Code can delegate tasks like this:

> Ask gemini to review the error handling in src/api.rs
> Ask codex to write unit tests for the parser module
> Ask aider to refactor the database layer

Claude Code selects the appropriate agent, passes the prompt, and returns the result. You can also specify a working directory:

{ "agent": "gemini", "prompt": "Explain this module", "working_directory": "/path/to/project" }

Verify MCP registration

# Check if claudy is registered
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A3 claudy

# Test the MCP server manually
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' | claudy mcp run

Custom agents

Add agents in ~/.claudy/config.yaml under the agents key (see Configuration for full schema):

agents:
  my-agent:
    binary: "my-agent"
    args: ["--prompt", "{prompt}", "--no-interactive"]
    description: "My custom agent"
    timeout: 180

Same key as a built-in agent overrides its defaults. {prompt} in args is replaced with the actual task.

Usage Analytics

Note: The analytics feature is still a work in progress. Token counts, cost estimates, and other metrics may not be fully accurate. Expect refinements in upcoming releases.

Inside Claude Code: `/analytics-insights`

The fastest way to analyze your usage is directly inside Claude Code. The analytics-insights skill is automatically available — just ask naturally:

> /analytics-insights
> /analytics-insights last 2 weeks
> analyze my usage patterns
> 사용 패턴 분석해줘

Claude runs claudy analytics insights, analyzes the JSON, and returns a structured report with:

Cost trends — daily/weekly spend with spike detection
Model distribution — which models you use and what they cost per session
Tool patterns — most-used tools, error rates, efficiency observations
Cache performance — hit ratio and estimated savings
Actionable recommendations — specific suggestions like "route simple tasks to turbo" with estimated dollar savings

Example output (see docs/examples/analytics-insights-sample.json for raw data):

#### Summary
81 sessions, $481 total spend at an average of $68.7/day. Costs trending
sharply upward — last 3 weekdays averaged $97/day.

#### Recommendations
1. Route simple tasks to glm-5-turbo — est. savings: ~$90/month
2. Investigate $1.91/turn outlier session (6x average cost-per-turn)
3. Reduce harness overhead — TaskCreate/Update accounted for ~1,000 calls

No manual commands, no context switching. Ask Claude about your usage and get answers instantly.

What analytics tracks

Tokens: Detailed trends of input, output, and cache tokens over the last 30 days, grouped by model and date.
Tools: Distribution analysis showing which tools Claude uses most frequently, including call counts, error rates, and average execution time.
Cost: Real-time estimation of usage costs based on actual token pricing, including daily/weekly/monthly forecasts and trend detection (increasing/stable/decreasing).
Tips (Recommendations): Data-driven optimization advice, such as detecting high-cost sessions, suggesting Haiku for simple tasks, and identifying long conversations that could benefit from context summarization.
Projects: Automatically maps cryptic session UUIDs to human-readable project folder names for better context.

Data is stored in a local SQLite database under ~/.claudy/analytics/. The dashboard runs as a high-performance local Tauri 2 + Svelte app. Use the [Sync] button in the dashboard to instantly refresh data from your Claude CLI history.

Analytics Dashboard

claudy analytics dashboard

Files and Directory Layout

By default, Claudy stores data under:

~/.claudy/

Important files/directories:

config.yaml: provider + channel + agent configuration.
secrets.env: provider/bot credentials.
launchers.json: launcher/symlink manifest.
modes/: Claude config modes.
session-patches/: session patch storage.
channel/: channel runtime state (pid, sessions, audit log).
analytics/: analytics SQLite database and checkpoints.
cache/update.json: update metadata cache.

Environment Variables

CLAUDY_HOME: override the Claudy home directory (default: ~/.claudy).
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: set automatically by Claudy when launching with a mode.

Common Workflows

Configure and launch a provider

claudy setup
claudy <profile>

Use a mode with a provider

claudy mode create work
claudy <profile> work --yolo

--yolo is claudy's shorthand for --dangerously-skip-permissions.

Run a dedicated Claude framework in its own mode

Frameworks like gstack, superpowers, or ecc ship their own CLAUDE.md, skills, and agents. Keep them isolated:

# One-time setup: create the mode and seed it with the framework config
claudy mode create gstack
cp -r /path/to/gstack/.claude/. ~/.claudy/modes/gstack/

# Daily use: launch Claude with the framework active
claudy <profile> gstack

Switch between frameworks without touching your default config:

claudy <profile> gstack      # gstack framework active
claudy <profile> superpowers # superpowers framework active
claudy <profile>             # your default config, unchanged

Delegate tasks to other agents via MCP

# 1) Ensure MCP is registered (happens automatically on first `claudy mcp`)
claudy mcp

# 2) In Claude Code, ask it to delegate to any installed agent:
#    "Ask gemini to analyze this error"
#    "Ask aider to refactor the auth module"

Diagnose install/configuration state

claudy doctor
claudy ping

Troubleshooting

profile not recognized: run claudy ls and choose a listed profile ID.
not configured profile: run claudy setup <provider> to add credentials.
Channel status unhealthy: run claudy channel status, then restart with claudy channel stop and claudy channel start.
Channel bot not responding: check ~/.claudy/channel/logs/server.log for errors. Verify bot token in ~/.claudy/secrets.env and that allowed_users includes your chat user ID.
Permission prompt not appearing: ensure Claude CLI is not running with --dangerously-skip-permissions. The prompt only triggers when Claude needs explicit approval for tool use.
Binary not found after install: see the PATH note in the Verify section.
Agent not showing in MCP: ensure the agent binary is on PATH (which gemini). Only installed agents appear in tools/list.
Agent timeout: increase timeout in config.yaml agents field (default: 120s).
MCP not registered: run claudy mcp once manually, or check ~/.claude/settings.json for the mcpServers.claudy entry.
Agent output truncated: agent stdout is capped at 10MB. For large outputs, redirect the agent to write to a file instead.
Analytics data missing: run claudy analytics ingest to populate from ~/.claude/projects/. Use --full to re-ingest everything.

Acknowledgements

This project was inspired by Clother, a Go-based multi-provider launcher for Claude CLI. Claudy is an independent Rust implementation, redesigned from the ground up with RAII-based session guards, signal forwarding, launcher symlinks, and deep ecosystem integrations including a full-featured Channel Bridge (Telegram/Slack/Discord), the Agent MCP Bridge for cross-agent delegation, and a high-performance Analytics Dashboard built with Tauri 2. These additions reflect Claudy's transition from a simple launcher to a comprehensive operational toolkit for Claude CLI users.
