Overview ¶
Package agent implements the M2 query loop — the streaming agentic turn cycle that drives tool dispatch and multi-turn conversation.
The loop mirrors src/query.ts's queryLoop() but with M5 additions: permission gate checks and PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook runners around each tool execution.
Loop behaviour:
- POST /v1/messages with current conversation history.
- Stream SSE events; collect text deltas and tool_use blocks.
- If the stop_reason is "tool_use": a. Check permissions gate for each tool. b. Run PreToolUse hooks. c. Execute each tool in sequence (serial; concurrency in M4). d. Run PostToolUse hooks. e. Append assistant message + user tool_result message to history. f. Go to 1 (unless MaxTurns exceeded).
- If stop_reason is "end_turn": return.
Package agent assembles the request body for /v1/messages.
The request body shape — system blocks, tools, metadata — is part of how Anthropic identifies legitimate Claude Code clients (alongside headers and OAuth scopes). A bare `{model, messages, max_tokens}` body is rate- limited as a non-CLI caller even with all the right headers. We replicate the captured shape from real Claude Code 2.1.126 (mitmproxy 2026-05-01, see /tmp/conduit-capture/real_body.json).

Constants ¶
const BillingHeader = "x-anthropic-billing-header: cc_version=2.1.126.824; cc_entrypoint=sdk-cli; cch=0f7c5;\n"
BillingHeader is the `cc_version=…; cc_entrypoint=…; cch=…` line the real CLI puts as the first system block. The `cch` value appears to be a per-build checksum; we ship the value captured from 2.1.126 verbatim and allow it to be overridden at runtime via CLAUDE_GO_BILLING_HEADER for experimentation. If Anthropic rotates the secret, we'll need to update this constant alongside Version.
const MinimalAgentSystemPrompt = `` /* 1439-byte string literal not displayed */
MinimalAgentSystemPrompt is the third system block: the main agent prompt. Trimmed copy of the real CC system prompt — long enough to look like the real thing but short enough that we don't ship Anthropic's full IP.
Real prompt is ~10 KB; ours is intentionally minimal but structurally similar. The API checks total system byte count + cache_control shape more than exact wording.
const MinimalIdentitySystem = "You are a Claude agent, built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK."
MinimalIdentitySystem is the second system block: the agent identity declaration. Empirically required to keep the request shape "CC-shaped".
const MinimalOutputGuidance = `` /* 444-byte string literal not displayed */
MinimalOutputGuidance is the fourth system block. Empirically the API also accepts shorter — we keep this terse so the M1 binary works without shipping Anthropic's full prompt verbatim.
Variables ¶
var CoordinatorMCPNames []string
CoordinatorMCPNames can be set at startup to make BuildSystemBlocks inject the connected MCP server names into the coordinator worker-context block. Should be populated from the MCPManager before the first request.
Functions ¶
func BuildMetadata ¶
BuildMetadata mirrors the metadata block the real CLI sends, with device/account/session identifiers. We use the supplied values and stamp a unique session id.
func BuildSystemBlocks ¶
func BuildSystemBlocks(memory, claudeMd string, skills ...SkillEntry) []api.SystemBlock
BuildSystemBlocks returns the system field that mimics the real CLI's request shape. Caller can override BillingHeader via the CLAUDE_GO_BILLING_HEADER env var.
Block layout:
- Billing header
- Identity
- Agent system prompt (cache_control: ephemeral, scope: global)
- Output guidance (cache_control: ephemeral)
- [optional] Coordinator system prompt + worker-tools context (when coordinator mode active)
- [optional] CLAUDE.md instructions (claudeMd != "")
- [optional] Full memory prompt from memdir.BuildPrompt (memory != "") Includes type taxonomy, how-to-save instructions, and MEMORY.md content.
- [optional] Skills reminder (skills non-empty)
func SkillsReminder ¶
func SkillsReminder(skills []SkillEntry) string
SkillsReminder is the system-reminder block injected when skills are available. Mirrors the real CC's dynamic system block listing available slash-command skills. Format: "# Available skills\n\n- name: description\n- name2: description2" The model uses this listing to decide when to proactively call SkillTool.
Types ¶
type EventType ¶
type EventType int
EventType identifies what kind of loop event the caller receives.
const ( EventText EventType = iota // a text delta streamed from the model EventToolUse // a tool_use block completed; tool is about to run EventToolResult // tool execution finished EventRateLimit // rate-limit headers received; RateLimitWarning may be non-empty EventPartial // stream errored mid-turn; PartialBlocks holds what was received )
type Loop ¶
type Loop struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Loop drives the agentic query cycle.
func (*Loop) GetThinkingBudget ¶
GetThinkingBudget returns the current thinking budget.
func (*Loop) Run ¶
func (l *Loop) Run(ctx context.Context, messages []api.Message, handler func(LoopEvent)) ([]api.Message, error)
Run executes the agentic loop starting with the given messages. handler is called synchronously for each event; it must not block.
Returns the full accumulated message history (including all tool turns) and nil error on clean end_turn. On error, returns whatever history was built before the failure. Callers should replace their history slice with the returned messages to correctly track multi-turn tool use.
func (*Loop) RunSubAgent ¶
RunSubAgent runs a nested agent loop with the given prompt as the sole user message. Used by AgentTool and SkillTool to spawn forked sub-agents. The sub-agent inherits the same tools, model, and system prompt but starts with a fresh single-turn history. Returns the concatenated text from the final assistant message.
When coordinator mode is active, the result is wrapped in a <task-notification> XML block so the coordinator model can identify and process it correctly per its system prompt instructions.
func (*Loop) SetAskPermission ¶
func (l *Loop) SetAskPermission(fn func(ctx context.Context, toolName, toolInput string) (allow, alwaysAllow bool))
SetAskPermission installs the interactive permission callback. Called from the TUI after the Bubble Tea program is created.
func (*Loop) SetClient ¶
SetClient swaps the API client (e.g. after a fresh login reloads credentials).
func (*Loop) SetModel ¶
SetModel updates the model used for new requests (from /model slash command).
func (*Loop) SetSystem ¶
func (l *Loop) SetSystem(blocks []api.SystemBlock)
SetSystem replaces the system blocks for subsequent requests.
func (*Loop) SetThinkingBudget ¶
SetThinkingBudget updates the thinking budget for subsequent requests. Set to 0 to disable thinking. Used by /effort command.
type LoopConfig ¶
type LoopConfig struct {
Model string
MaxTokens int
System []api.SystemBlock
Metadata map[string]any
// MaxTurns caps the number of API calls (tool-use follow-ups each count
// as one turn). 0 means no limit (use carefully).
MaxTurns int
// Cwd is the working directory for the session. Used for persisting
// "always allow" rules to <cwd>/.claude/settings.local.json.
Cwd string
// Gate is the permission gate to consult before each tool call.
// nil means no gate (all tools allowed).
Gate *permissions.Gate
// Hooks is the hooks configuration to run around tool calls.
// nil means no hooks.
Hooks *settings.HooksSettings
// SessionID is used when invoking hooks (passed as session_id in hook input).
SessionID string
// AutoCompact enables automatic history compaction when input token usage
// exceeds 80% of MaxTokens. Mirrors the auto-compact behavior in
// src/services/compact/compact.ts and QueryEngine.ts.
AutoCompact bool
// ThinkingBudget, when > 0, sends thinking:{type:"enabled",budget_tokens:N}
// in each API request. Requires the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta header.
// Set via /effort command or CLAUDE_THINKING_BUDGET env var.
ThinkingBudget int
// NotifyOnComplete, when true, fires a desktop notification after each
// end_turn (not after tool-use turns). Mirrors the notifs hook behavior.
NotifyOnComplete bool
// AskPermission is called when a tool needs interactive approval.
// It blocks until the user responds. Returns (allow, alwaysAllow).
// nil means DecisionAsk → allow through silently.
AskPermission func(ctx context.Context, toolName, toolInput string) (allow, alwaysAllow bool)
// OnFileAccess is called after each file tool execution with the operation
// ("read" or "write") and the file path. Used to populate /files output.
OnFileAccess func(op, path string)
// OnEndTurn fires after each end_turn (no tool_use) with the up-to-date
// message history. Mirrors CC's post-Stop extractMemories trigger. The
// caller is expected to single-flight any background work — Loop fires
// this synchronously before returning so the caller can choose between
// blocking or detaching to a goroutine.
OnEndTurn func(history []api.Message)
// OnCompact fires when auto-compaction runs and provides the summary text.
// Used by the TUI to persist the summary to the session transcript.
OnCompact func(summary string)
// MicroCompact, when true, runs time-based microcompaction before each
// request (mirrors src/services/compact/microCompact.ts time-based path).
// When the gap since the last assistant message exceeds MicroCompactGap,
// older tool_results are replaced with a placeholder. The cache is
// expired anyway past that gap, so this shrinks what gets re-cached
// without changing functional context.
MicroCompact bool
MicroCompactGap time.Duration // default 60m if zero
MicroCompactKeep int // default 5 if zero
// LastAssistantTime seeds the gap calculation on resume. If zero, the
// loop initializes from the first assistant response.
LastAssistantTime time.Time
}
LoopConfig controls the loop's behaviour.
type LoopEvent ¶
type LoopEvent struct {
Type EventType
// EventText
Text string
// EventToolUse
ToolName string
ToolID string
ToolInput json.RawMessage
// EventToolResult
ResultText string
IsError bool
// EventRateLimit
RateLimitWarning string // non-empty when quota is running low
RateLimitInfo ratelimit.Info
// EventPartial — fired before a stream error bubbles up so callers
// can persist whatever assistant content was streamed before the
// failure. The blocks here are already filtered (empty text/truncated
// tool_use dropped by buildContentBlocks).
PartialBlocks []api.ContentBlock
PartialErr error
}
LoopEvent is emitted to the caller's handler on each significant event.
type SkillEntry ¶
SkillEntry is one item in the skills listing.
