DEDUPEDWho it is forA team with CI or automation built on Claude Code's print mode that wants to try another agent.
The problemSwitching agents usually means rewriting the parsing code around them.
The outcomeYour existing pipeline running Maki with compatible JSON output.
What you need first
- Linux, macOS or Windows
- An API key or sign-in for a supported provider, or a local Ollama or llama.cpp server
- Optional: rtk installed for smaller bash 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
Prompt for your agent
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.
Caveat. This card is written from the tontinton/maki README, not from a test run by Deduped. Before you start, make sure you have Linux, macOS or Windows. Check the repo for newer instructions before you rely on these steps.
