SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables programmatic execution of Claude Code for automation, CI/CD pipelines, and autonomous agent systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Programmatic Claude: Run Claude from scripts, cron jobs, and automated workflows.
  • Agent Integration: Build multi-agent systems with AILANG messaging and task handoffs.
  • Use Case: Imagine you need to run automated quality evaluations every time a new release is published. Use this Skill to execute eval baselines programmatically and fail builds if quality thresholds aren't met.

Quick Start

Use the headless runner skill to analyze the codebase for technical debt and generate a prioritized refactoring plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about Headless Runner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Claude workflows in CI/CD pipelines?▼

Headless Runner executes Claude Code programmatically from scripts and CI/CD systems. Load your .claude project configuration, maintain multi-turn sessions, and integrate Claude into automated build and deployment workflows without manual interaction.

Can I run Claude in headless mode for batch scripting and scheduled tasks?▼

Yes, headless execution lets you run Claude from cron jobs, batch scripts, and scheduled workflows. The Skill loads project configuration, manages sessions for multi-turn interactions, and produces structured JSON output for downstream automation.

What's the best way to integrate Claude into autonomous agent systems?▼

Use programmatic Claude execution with session management to build multi-agent workflows. Control tool permissions, handle errors and retries, and enable agent-to-agent task handoffs through scriptable, repeatable execution.

Do I need additional dependencies to run Claude headlessly?▼

Headless Runner requires jq for JSON processing. Ensure it's installed in your environment before setting up automated Claude execution for CI/CD pipelines or agent workflows.

How can I execute automated quality evaluations on every release?▼

Run this Skill to execute eval baselines programmatically after each release. Receive structured output, set quality thresholds, and fail builds automatically if evaluations fall below your specified requirements.

What limitations should I know about headless Claude execution?▼

Headless mode works within the constraints of your .claude configuration, tool permissions, and session management. Error handling and retry logic are built in, but complex interactive workflows may require careful session design.
