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`
Aider has had support for scripting [0] in python or via the command line for a long time.
I made a screencast [1] recently that included ad-hoc bash scripting aider as part of the effort to add support for 130 new programming languages. It may give a flavor for how powerful this approach can be.

I first made a scripting tool of aider that I didn't open source: (https://cloudcoding.ai)
Scripting with aider gives lower level control but this is also its shortcoming to why I prefer scripting Claude code.
Claude code is like a better architect mode and people want higher and higher levels of abstraction away from the coding and more towards the vibing.

It's more a play on the phrase 'Code the thing that Codes the thing'
Here it is - https://github.com/RVCA212/codesys
A very cool thing I'm working on in this space is having an llm code with the codesys sdk, then run the code.
So imagine cursor coding a codesys file instead of doing the task directly so that it instead scripts claude code to do a sequence of actions and allows cursor/the user to simply analyze the results.
this also enables parralel claude code sessions which is super cool!
I’ve never heard of prompt tower either, so definitely something to look into!
This isn’t the product I’m building which is why i opened sourced it, but it allows for my product to be made
I’m sure Anthropic will release this exact sdk in a week or two

Seems like this task orchestration is the next must-have thing for every agentic AI solution and it makes perfect sense.
this seems simpler and more straight forward though
