claude-code-tools

Detailed Introduction

claude-code-tools, maintained by pchalasani, is a suite of productivity plugins and CLI utilities designed for Claude Code, Codex-CLI, and similar command-line coding agents. The project provides plugins such as aichat, tmux-cli, and safety-hooks, plus commands like aichat, vault, and env-safe to manage session continuation, terminal automation, secure env handling, and fast full-text session search for LLM-driven development workflows.

Main Features

• Session continuation and trimming with aichat, including Rust/Tantivy full-text search and rollover strategies.
• Terminal automation via tmux-cli, reducing automation race conditions and improving agent reliability.
• Safety hooks and env-safe for preventing dangerous operations and inspecting .env files without exposing values.
• Hybrid architecture: Python CLI core, Rust search binary, and Node.js action menus for interactive workflows.

Use Cases

Ideal for developers and teams who run parallel agent-driven tasks or need robust session management: resume long-running work without lossy compaction, search and recover past session context, automate interactive terminal workflows, and enforce safety controls in local and CI environments.

Technical Characteristics

The project combines Python for CLI and orchestration, Rust (Tantivy) for high-performance full-text search and TUI, and Node.js for interactive menus. It emphasizes modular plugins, least-privilege tool permissions for subagents, and hook-based extensibility, and is distributed via PyPI with optional Rust/Cargo binaries for the search components.
