SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables invoking Claude Code in headless mode from automation scripts, enabling non-interactive task execution and batch processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Headless execution: Run Claude Code via CLI without a UI, streaming outputs to stdout.
  • Automation workflows: Integrate with shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and scheduled jobs.
  • Use Case: Orchestrate data processing tasks by triggering Claude with predefined prompts and collecting results automatically.

Quick Start

Run Claude Code in headless mode from a script: claude -p 'Analyze data' --print > logs/claude_headless.log 2>&1. Capture the full stdout for processing and store it for auditing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Claude Code headlessly in automation scripts?▼

Headless Claude Code execution runs Claude via CLI without a UI, streaming output to stdout. Use the `-p/--print` flag to capture results: `claude -p 'your prompt' > output.log`. This enables non-interactive batch processing in shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and scheduled jobs.

Can I integrate Claude Code into CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes. Claude Code supports headless execution in CI/CD workflows through CLI flags like `--model` and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` for automation control. Pipe prompts and redirect stdout to logs for audit trails and result collection in pipeline stages.

What flags control Claude Code behavior in headless mode?▼

Key flags for headless automation include `-p/--print` to output results to stdout, `--model` to specify the Claude model, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to bypass interactive permission checks. These flags enable unattended script execution.

How do I capture and store Claude Code output from scripts?▼

Redirect stdout and stderr to files using shell redirection: `claude -p 'prompt' > logs/output.log 2>&1`. This captures full streaming output for processing, auditing, or downstream automation tasks without manual intervention.

When should I use headless Claude Code instead of interactive mode?▼

Use headless mode for batch processing, scheduled automation, CI/CD integration, and data orchestration tasks where non-interactive execution is required. Interactive mode is better for real-time debugging and exploratory work.
