`claude-e` is a PTY-backed execution wrapper for Claude Code.

It gives Claude a `claude -p`-style command surface while still driving the interactive Claude Code runtime underneath. That matters when an agent system needs the real interactive Claude behavior, but also needs a predictable single-command interface, JSON output, timeouts, resume wiring, and explicit binary resolution.

npm install -g claude-e

claude-e "your prompt here"
claude-e p --model opus "explain quicksort to a 10-year-old"
claude-e --tool "use 10 tools and summarize the results"
claude-e --output-format json "summarize this commit" < commit.diff
claude-e --output-format stream-json "audit src/" --verbose | jq .
