Claude Code
Anthropic's command-line coding agent — the frontier lane of the stack, run under amux for parallel, isolated sessions.
Claude Code is a coding agent that runs in the terminal: you give it a task in a repository and it reads, edits, runs commands, and iterates. In this stack it is the frontier lane — the model you reach for on the hard 20% of the work (see local and frontier models ). amux runs it in named, isolated sessions, so you can have several going at once.
Install and sign in
Install it once and log in, so it can launch unattended under amux:
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
claude # first run: sign in
The native installer keeps itself up to date. After that, amux drives the same claude binary —
that is the supported way to automate a subscription: you are using your own account through its own
client, not a backend pretending to be an API (see subscriptions, APIs, and local models
).
Flags worth knowing
You pass these through amux-run
,
after the session name:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--model opus / --model sonnet | Pick the model. |
--continue | Resume the last conversation in this directory. |
--resume | Choose which past conversation to resume. |
--append-system-prompt "…" | Add standing instructions for the session. |
