Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding agent, and it's the default agent in T-Ex LLM.

Getting Started

Installation

Claude Code is the default agent, so it works immediately after installing T-Ex LLM:

# Install T-Ex LLM CLI
npm i -g @vicoa/cli

# Start Claude Code (default behavior)
T-Ex LLM

No additional configuration needed.

Basic Usage

Simply run T-Ex LLM to start a Claude Code session:

T-Ex LLM

Claude Code will start in your terminal, and the session will be accessible from the T-Ex LLM mobile app and web dashboard.

Configuration Options

Resume Previous Session

Continue from where you left off:

T-Ex LLM --resume SESSION_ID

Find session IDs in the T-Ex LLM web app.

Custom Session Name

Give your session a descriptive name:

T-Ex LLM --name "Refactor Landing Page"

This makes it easier to identify sessions in the T-Ex LLM web and mobile.

Making Claude Code Your Default

Claude Code is already the default agent, but if you've changed it and want to restore:

T-Ex LLM --set-default claude

After this command, T-Ex LLM will always launch Claude Code unless you override with --agent.

Using Claude Code Temporarily

If you have a different default agent but want to use Claude Code for one session:

T-Ex LLM --agent claude

Your default agent remains unchanged for future sessions.

Mobile and Web Workflow

Slash Commands

Claude Code supports custom slash commands from your ~/.claude/commands directory. These commands automatically sync to T-Ex LLM, making them available in the mobile and web UI.

Create custom commands by adding .md files to ~/.claude/commands/:

# Create a custom command
echo "# Review Command\nReview code for security issues" > ~/.claude/commands/review.md

The command becomes available as /review in Claude Code and in the T-Ex LLM mobile UI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Claude Code free to use?

Claude Code requires an Anthropic API key. T-Ex LLM comes with free usage for pairing with Claude Code.

How is this different from using Claude Code directly?

When you use T-Ex LLM to launch Claude Code, you get:

Mobile app access
Web dashboard
Push notifications
Remote permission approval
Session persistence and resumption
Multi-device access

Using Claude Code directly (claude command) provides only the terminal interface.

Can I switch between Claude Code and other agents?

Yes! T-Ex LLM supports multiple agents:

# Use Claude Code
T-Ex LLM --agent claude

# Use Codex
T-Ex LLM --agent codex

# Use OpenCode
T-Ex LLM --agent opencode

See the Agent Guide for details on each agent.

Advanced Usage

Pre-existing Agent Instance

Use a specific agent instance ID:

T-Ex LLM --agent-instance-id abc123
