Show HN: Claude Commander: runtime model switching in Cloud Code via hooks/API (github.com)

The newly announced Claude Commander introduces a runtime model switching capability for Claude Code via a socket API and hooks, allowing developers to perform programmatic command injection more seamlessly. With this tool, users can interact with Claude Code's terminal user interface (TUI) and send commands through a Unix socket or Windows named pipe, making it highly flexible across platforms including macOS, Linux, and Windows. Significantly, Claude Commander is built as a lightweight Native Rust binary, weighing in at around 600KB, ensuring zero overhead and efficient performance. The tool’s cross-platform compatibility facilitates broader adoption in diverse development environments, while the ability to use hooks for session management and command sending enhances its extensibility. Key features include JSON command structure support, responsive interactive sessions, and the capability to execute commands such as sending text or checking session status, all of which empower developers to integrate AI functionalities into their applications with ease and efficiency.
