Show HN: Code Claude Code
In the nature of Open Source, I am releasing something I'm actively
working on but is insanely simple and will likely be made anyways.
It is an SDK for scripting Claude Code. It's a lightweight (155
lines) and free wrapper around claude code This is a big deal
because it seems that using claude code and cursor has become
largly repitive. My workflow typically goes like this: Plan out my
task into a file, then have claude code implement the plan into my
code. I'm actively building a product with this, but still wanted
to make it OSS! Use it now with `pip install codesys`

| sequence of actions and allows cursor/the user to simply
| analyze the results.
|

|
| Claude code is like a better architect mode and people want

| and more towards the vibing.
