Does OpenClaude has any non-interactive/headless mode? #858

NomiJ started this conversation in General
Discussion options

Hi,
Our application currently uses non-interactive single-prompt mode
claude -dangerously-skip-permissions -p "<prompt>"
OpenClaude appears to be interactive-terminal. Is there's any equivalent of -p for piping a prompt in and getting output back.

-p mode is right here:

// -p/--print mode: skip subcommand registration. The 52 subcommands
// (mcp, auth, plugin, skill, task, config, doctor, update, etc.) are
// never dispatched in print mode — commander routes the prompt to the
// default action. The subcommand registration path was measured at ~65ms
// on baseline — mostly the isBridgeEnabled() call (25ms settings Zod parse
// + 40ms sync keychain subprocess), both hidden by the try/catch that
// always returns false before enableConfigs(). cc:// URLs are rewritten to
// `open` at main() line ~851 BEFORE this runs, so argv check is safe here.
const isPrintMode = process.argv.includes('-p') || process.argv.includes('--print');

but it appears to be broken, it ignores the environment settings and always uses opengateway
