 "title": "Replace a headless Claude Code script with Maki",
 "page_title": "How to replace a headless Claude Code script with Maki with Maki",
 "summary": "Run Maki without the UI and keep the same stream-json output your scripts already parse.",
 "who": "A team with CI or automation built on Claude Code's print mode that wants to try another agent.",
 "problem": "Switching agents usually means rewriting the parsing code around them.",
 "outcome": "Your existing pipeline running Maki with compatible JSON output.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Maki on the machine that runs your script",
  "Replace the agent call with Maki using `--print --output-format stream-json`",
  "Run the script on a test task and compare the output with the old run",
  "Optionally turn on the OpenTelemetry export, which uses the same format as Claude Code's"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Change my <script> that runs Claude Code in print mode to call tontinton/maki with --print --output-format stream-json instead, run it on <test task>, and diff the outputs.",
