claude-print

Drop-in replacement for claude -p (print/headless mode) that drives the Claude Code interactive TUI via PTY — preserving subscription billing after the June 15, 2026 Agent SDK credit split.

Why this exists

Starting June 15, 2026, Anthropic separates claude -p (headless) into a separate Agent SDK credit pool ($100$200/month on Max plans). Only the interactive TUI (cc_entrypoint=cli) continues drawing from the unlimited subscription. claude-print wraps the interactive TUI in a PTY so callers get claude -p wire-compatible output while billing against the subscription.
