CLAUDE-CODE in Linux not using the openfang workspace and settings AT ALL

[apestchanker]

Description

I am trying to use CLAUDE-CODE with OAUTH so I can try openfang with not much costs. But it seems that using the local claude-code install, generates that the claude agent does not know anything about openfang, nor it uses the .md files, nor the workspace, nor the API.. so I have to teach it from zero and even though he keeps missing the context. Does anyone experimented this? There is a caveat on my environment that could be adding extra complexity to it, as I am running in a termux on android, so standard things such as using /tmp are not allowed. But I did manage to use a TMPDIR in the openfang workspace, the thing with CLAUDE-CODE is seems not to be using the openfang environment all the time. Main issue now, is the twitter-hand that create the tweets, write them in the json file (after a while I was able to make it write in the twitter-hand workspace) but it does not send those tweets to the API for my review and approval, it asks me to read the .json and edit it by hand... very frustrating. I will try later with standard API models, but I think having able to use claude-code is great for familiarizing with openfang and for many general tasks.. If I can upload any piece of config or log for you guys to undersand this better, please let me know.

Expected Behavior

Claude-Code provider to automatically understand and use openfang configuration, context and workspace.

Steps to Reproduce

1 Run openfang start
2 Configure claude-code with oauth (local claude install and oauth token config)
3 Spawn twitter-hand
4 validate twitter-hand workspace is up and all the files are there
5 See that twitter-hand does not generate anything on the approvals dashboard

OpenFang Version

0.4.4

Operating System

Added a PR to FIX this bug.. #705

[jaberjaber23]

Claude Code is a separate product from Anthropic. OpenFang cannot control how Claude Code discovers or uses workspace settings. This is outside our scope.

Understood Jaber, but I found out it was the way you were using systemprompt when calling claude, so it is part of openfang's code and it is fixable, that's why I created the PR.

just a question pals, can you briefly suggest how to integrate claude code on file system (bin) with actual command given by openfang? I guess is kinda agent2agent integration.

Hey @Hypn0sis claude-code (bin) is already integrated in openfang, you have to have a working claude CLI (validated via OAUTH or API) in your system. Then you enable the provider in openfang and done!

The issue is that currently openfang sends prompts to claude without separating system prompt from user prompt, making Claude unaware it is being run in an openfang context. That's why I opened a PR with that fix.
