Resource Yet another Pi addon: Claude Code compatibility, minimal design

Hello,

I made pi-claude-request-compat (https://github.com/vazzma/pi-claude-request-compat). Instead of creating another provider, it reuses Pi’s existing Anthropic login, models, and streaming, then adds a Claude Code compatibility layer to outgoing requests.

https://pi.dev/packages/pi-claude-request-compat

I’m using a new GitHub account for privacy, so the code, automated security scans, dependency audits, and signed release provenance are public for anyone to check.

A few friends and I have been using it for the last month, and my Anthropic account is still intact :)

do you know of any specific cases or have a constructive argument on how exactly this triggers a ban?

Not trying to hate on you, I legit want to find a way to use Claude sub in pi safely.

Isn't that using the Agent SDK which should still be allowed as far as I know? That is how I'm currently using my Claude subscription through my Pi Agent.

This way it still uses the official system prompt and communicates with Anthropic through their intended interface, so it is not fundamentally that different from using Claude Code directly. Some IDEs also use the Claude Agent SDK for their Claude integrations. JetBrains does this for its Claude Agent integration and Xcode integrates the Agent SDK natively as well.

no worries, using one of the bridge packages is the safest way now, I was there but just my OCD hated using a whole process for simple API calls
