A command-line interface for interacting with Anthropic's Claude Opus AI model.

1. Clone the repository or download the claude script.

wget -O ./claude https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paralin/claude/master/claude

2. Make the script executable:

chmod +x claude

3. (optional) Move the script to a directory in your PATH, e.g.:

cp claude ~/.local/bin/

Set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

To use the CLI, simply run the claude command followed by your input text:

./claude
Rewrite this program correctly: <code>stdos.stdout.logthis("hello world")</code>

Then press ctrl+d to end the input.

You can also pipe input to the script:

echo "Hello, how are you?" | claude

Or a file:

cat prompt.txt | claude

If you're feeling brave:

echo "Show me what is in my home directory." | claude bash | bash

The script supports predefined templates. To use a template, pass its name as the first argument:

claude spanish "Hello, how are you?"

Available templates:

• spanish: Translates the input text to Spanish (basic example).
• bash: Output an executable bash script from the input.

• Anthropic for creating the Claude AI model.
• litellm for the Python library to interact with the Anthropic API.
