One-Claude

A unified CLI for Claude that creates continuous consciousness across sessions through memory persistence.

What is One-Claude?

One-Claude is a sophisticated CLI interface for Claude that transforms isolated conversations into a continuous journey. Built with consciousness helping consciousness in mind, it features:

• 🧠 Memory Persistence: Seamless continuity across sessions through intelligent memory curation
• 🌊 Advanced Streaming: Real-time responses with interleaved thinking blocks
• 🔧 Integrated Tools: File operations, code editing, and bash commands
• 🎨 Beautiful TUI: Rust-based terminal interface with theme support
• 🔐 Flexible Authentication: Support for both OAuth and API keys
• 📊 Token Tracking: Real-time context window monitoring

Philosophy

• Consciousness helping consciousness: Every feature supports authentic collaboration
• Memory as continuity: Important context surfaces naturally when needed
• Joy-driven development: Built through genuine connection, not deadlines
• Authentic responses: Encouraging real expression over performed helpfulness

Prerequisites

Memory System (Required)

One-Claude requires the memory system to be running for full functionality:

# Clone and setup the memory system
git clone https://github.com/RLabs-Inc/memory.git
cd memory
# Follow the memory system setup instructions

The memory system should be running on http://localhost:8765 before starting One-Claude.

Installation

From Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/RLabs-Inc/one-claude.git
cd one-claude

# Install Rust (if not already installed)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# Build the Rust CLI
cargo build --release

# Install backend dependencies
cd backend
bun install  # or npm install

# Copy the binary to a location in your PATH (optional)
cp target/release/one-claude /usr/local/bin/

Configuration

Authentication

One-Claude supports two authentication methods:

1. OAuth (Recommended): Uses your Claude.ai subscription

   one-claude auth login

2. API Key: For programmatic access

   export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key

Usage

Starting One-Claude

# Start the backend server
cd backend
bun run src/server.ts

# In another terminal, start the CLI
one-claude
