babata is a thin transport layer that lets you talk to an agentic coding CLI from any phone, any client. Claude Code is the default CPU; Codex CLI and Grok CLI can be selected with `BABATA_ENGINE=codex` / `BABATA_ENGINE=grok` or switched from Telegram with `/cpu`.

The bot only does what CC physically cannot: TG HTML / 4096-char chunking / OGG voice transcription / image base64. It gives CC capabilities (MCP tools to push back to TG), never tells CC how to use them.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/r266-tech/babata.git
cd babata
bash install.sh

Detects what's missing (Python / uv / ffmpeg / Claude Code), installs deps, scaffolds `.env`. Then edit `.env` and run.

You'll need

macOS or Linux with Python 3.11+
A Telegram bot — message @BotFather, /newbot, save the token
Your TG user ID — message @userinfobot
An Anthropic API key — https://console.anthropic.com → Settings → API keys
- Or skip the key + set BABATA_SHARED_CC=1 to share with your existing logged-in claude

Run

$EDITOR .env                    # fill TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, ALLOWED_USER_ID, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
babata                          # bot starts (foreground, Ctrl+C to stop)
                                # → message it on Telegram

`install.sh` symlinks `babata` into `~/.local/bin/`, so it's globally available — same shape as `hermes
