I went down this rabbit hole a bit recently trying to use claude inside fence[0]...

True. There’s a setting for Claude code though where you can add apiKeyHelper which is a script you add that gets the token for Claude Code. I imagine you can use that but haven’t quite figured out how to wire it up

Did you get it working in the end? I assume you didn't share your setup/config anywhere?

Yeah, forgot when I wrote this comment that the thing about keychain was to pass that auth token into a Docker container, which I gave up on (Tauri desktop app needs to compile Rust and link against other stuff, different architecture inside the container blah blah)

More or less what it says in the README:

    fence -t code -- claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

Or wrap it in a function as an alias

    # cat prompt.md | ralph
    function ralph() {
      fence -t code -- \
        claude --verbose --dangerously-skip-permissions --output-format stream-json -p "$@" \
        | jq -r 'select(.type == "assistant") | .message.content[]? | select(.type? == "text") | .text'
    }
