Cc Proxy Rs — Communication skill for Claude Code

Lightweight Rust proxy for **OpenClaw** — use your Claude subscription (Max, Team, Enterprise) as an API provider. Two modes: **subprocess** (agentic, via CLI) and **native** (direct API calls with prompt caching & extended thinking).

Two modes

Subprocess mode (default)

Spawns `claude -p` CLI as a subprocess per request. Claude works as a full agent with built-in tools (Read, Edit, Bash, etc.) and its 43K system prompt.

Client → Proxy :3456 ←── NDJSON ──► claude CLI subprocess → Anthropic API

**Use when:** you need agentic coding — file operations, bash execution, multi-turn tool use.

Native mode

Direct HTTP calls to `api.anthropic.com` using your subscription's OAuth token. No CLI, no subprocess — pure API proxy with identity normalization.

Client → Proxy :3456 → rewrite identity → api.anthropic.com/v1/messages

**Use when:** you need fast chatbot/completion, prompt caching, extended thinking (`budget_tokens`), or lower latency.

Comparison

	Subprocess	Native
Built-in tools	Read, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob	None
System prompt	43K Claude Code + yours	Only yours
Agentic loops	Yes (multi-turn tool use)	No
Prompt caching	No	Yes
Extended thinking	No budget control	Yes (budget_tokens)
Latency	~2-5s (subprocess startup)	~0.3s (HTTP)
Identity normalization	N/A (CLI handles)	Yes (device_id, billing header, env)

Features

• Dual API — /v1/messages (Anthropic) + /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI)
• Streaming & non-streaming for both APIs
• **Sys
