Claude Code Router: Open Source Routing Tool Based on Claude Code

Claude Code Router is an open source project hosted on GitHub that aims to utilize the Anthropic The Claude model provides code routing capabilities. It helps developers accomplish programming tasks more efficiently by intelligently assigning and handling code-related tasks. The tool is based on Claude's conversational capabilities and can parse code requirements, generate code snippets or provide technical advice. The project is maintained by musistudio and is suitable for developers and technical teams. Its open source nature allows users to freely modify and extend its functionality, and the codebase is publicly available on GitHub for community contributions.

Function List

• Code Tasking: Automatically assigns tasks to the appropriate processing modules based on input programming requirements.
• Claude API Integration: Provides intelligent code generation and analysis through Anthropic's Claude model.
• Multi-language support: Supports code processing in Python, JavaScript, and many other programming languages.
• code generation: Generate code snippets or complete functions based on user descriptions.
• Bug Debugging Suggestions: Analyze potential problems in the code and provide recommendations for fixing them.
• modular design: Support user-defined routing rules to adapt to different project needs.
• Open Source Community Support: Users can participate in project development by submitting issues or pull requests via GitHub.

Using Help

Installation process

To use Claude-Code-Router, you need to complete the following installation steps:

1. clone warehouse
   Run the following command in the terminal to clone the project locally:

   git clone https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router.git
   

   This will download the full code base for the project.

2. Installation of dependencies
   Go to the project directory and install the necessary Python dependencies:

   cd claude-code-router
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Make sure you have Python 3.8 or later installed in your environment.requirements.txt The file lists all the libraries needed, such as anthropic(for calling the Claude API).

3. Configuring API Keys
   Claude-Code-Router relies on Anthropic's Claude model and therefore requires an API key to be configured.
   • Visit the official Anthropic website (https://www.anthropic.com) to register and get your API key.
   • In the project root directory, create a .env file, add the following:

     ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
     

   • Using Python's python-dotenv The library loads the key and the project reads it automatically.
4. Running Projects
   After the installation is complete, run the main program:

   python main.py
   

   This will start the Claude-Code-Router's core service, which runs locally by default.

Usage

The core functionality of Claude-Code-Router is to interact with the Claude model via command line or scripts to handle code related tasks. Below is a detailed flow of how the main functions work:

1. Code tasking

• procedure::
  • After launching the program, enter a task description, for example, "Write a Python function to compute the Fibonacci series."
  • The tool parses the task through the Claude model to determine whether it needs to generate code, debug code, or provide advice.
  • The system automatically routes the task to the corresponding module, such as calling the code generation module.
  • The output is displayed in the terminal or saved to a specified file.
• typical example::
  Input:

  请生成一个 JavaScript 函数，用于实现数组去重。
  

  Output:

  function uniqueArray(arr) {
  return [...new Set(arr)];
  }
  

2. Code generation

• procedure::
  • Enter the specific code requirements at the command line, e.g. "Generate a Python Flask route for REST API".
  • Claude-Code-Router calls the Claude model to generate code and return formatted code snippets.
  • The user has the option to save the code as a file with the following command:

    python main.py --save output.py
    

• caveat::
  • Ensure that the task description is clear and includes language and functionality requirements, such as "Implement in Python" or "Support asynchronous".
  • If the results are not as expected, the routing rules can be modified by adjusting the input description or manually.

3. Recommendations for debugging errors

• procedure::
  • Enter the faulty code snippet and describe the error, e.g. "This Python code has a syntax error, please fix it".
  • The tool analyzes the code and either calls the Claude model to suggest a fix or returns the corrected code directly.
  • Example Input:

    def add(a, b)
    return a + b
    

    Output Recommendations:

    代码缺少冒号。修正后：
    ```python
    def add(a, b):
    return a + b
    

4. Customized routing rules

• procedure::
  • Edit the project directory under the config/router.yaml file that defines task routing rules.
  • Example Configuration:

    tasks:
    generate_code:
    languages: ["python", "javascript"]
    action: "call_claude_generate"
    debug_code:
    action: "call_claude_debug"
    

  • Restart the program after modification and the rules will be applied automatically.
  • Users can add new rules based on project requirements, such as support for new programming languages.

caveat

• API Key Security: Don't put .env The file is uploaded to GitHub to avoid leaking the key.
• network connection: A stable network connection is required at runtime to call the Claude API.
• Community Contributions: If you run into problems, you can file an issue on GitHub or contribute code via a pull request.

application scenario

1. Programming aids for individual developers
   Developers can save time when writing code by using Claude-Code-Router to quickly generate code templates or debug code.
   For example, type "Generate a Python crawler script" and the tool will return the full crawler code, perfect for rapid prototyping.
2. Teamwork and tasking
   Technical teams can break down complex tasks, feed them into Claude-Code-Router, and have the tool automatically assign them to the right module for processing.
   For example, if the team needs to implement front-end and back-end code, the tool can generate separate React components and the Flask API.
3. Learning to Program
   Programming beginners can use the tool to generate code samples and get debugging advice, and learn how different languages are implemented.
   For example, type "Bubble Sort in JavaScript" and the tool will return the code and explain each step.

QA

1. What programming languages does Claude-Code-Router support?
   Currently support Python, JavaScript, Java and other major languages, the specific support scope depends on the Claude model capabilities. Users can extend the support by modifying the routing rules.
2. Do I need to pay to use the Claude API?
   Yes, the Claude API requires a paid key from Anthropic. Users need to register and get the key on the Anthropic website.
3. How do I contribute code?
   Visit the GitHub repository, fork the project, and submit a pull request to ensure that the code conforms to the project specifications and passes the tests.
4. What if the API call fails?
   Check that your network connection and API key are correct. You can file an issue on GitHub for community help.
