constructor

new ClaudeCliAdapter(options?: BaseAdapterOptions): ClaudeCliAdapter
Parameters
- Optionaloptions: BaseAdapterOptions
Returns ClaudeCliAdapter
Overrides SubprocessCliAdapter.constructor
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/adapters/claude-adapter.ts:68

Properties

`Readonly`name

name: "claude" | "gemini" | "codex" | "opencode" = 'claude'

CLI name

`Protected` `Readonly`parser

parser: ICliResponseParser = ...

`Protected` `Readonly`logger

logger: ILogger

`Protected`capacityTracker

capacityTracker: CapacityTracker | null = null

`Protected`initialized

initialized: boolean = false

lastHealthCheck?: HealthStatus

`Protected` `Optional`cachedVersion

cachedVersion?: string

`Readonly`transport

transport: CliTransport = 'subprocess'

Accessors

capabilities

get capabilities(): CliCapabilityProfile
Gets the capability profile for this CLI.

Returns CliCapabilityProfile
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.capabilities
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:96

Methods

getModelInfo

getModelInfo(): CliModelInfo
Gets Claude model information. buildModelInfo matches cliModelName, cliAlias, and aliases[] — a single call handles 'opus', 'sonnet', 'haiku', current model names, and the legacy claude-opus-4 / claude-haiku-3 / etc. entries that live in the registry's aliases since #2200 Child 1.

Truly unrecognized models fall through to conservative defaults (current Opus pricing).

Returns CliModelInfo
Overrides SubprocessCliAdapter.getModelInfo
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/adapters/claude-adapter.ts:83

`Protected`getCommand

getCommand(task: CliTask): CommandConfig
Gets CLI command and arguments for execution. Uses stdin for the prompt to avoid argument escaping issues, especially important when using --add-dir.
Parameters
- task: CliTask
Returns CommandConfig
Overrides SubprocessCliAdapter.getCommand
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/adapters/claude-adapter.ts:118

`Protected`initCapacityTracker

initCapacityTracker(): void
Initializes the capacity tracker. Called by subclasses after name is set.

Returns void
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.initCapacityTracker
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:89

execute

execute(
task: CliTask,
options?: CliExecutionOptions,
): Promise<Result<CliResponse, CliError>>
Executes a task with error handling and retries.

Timeout priority (highest to lowest):
1. options.timeoutMs - explicit execution option
2. task.timeoutMs - task-level setting
3. getTimeoutForTaskAuto() - computed from task complexity and CLI
Parameters
- task: CliTask
- Optionaloptions: CliExecutionOptions
Returns Promise<Result<CliResponse, CliError>>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.execute
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:135

healthCheck

healthCheck(): Promise<HealthStatus>
Performs a health check.

Returns Promise<HealthStatus>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.healthCheck
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:200

getVersion

getVersion(): Promise<string>
Gets CLI version.

Returns Promise<string>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.getVersion
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:230

getCapacity

getCapacity(): Promise<CapacityStatus>
Gets current capacity status based on tracked usage. Uses usage-based tracking since CLI subprocess execution doesn't expose HTTP rate limit headers.

Returns Promise<CapacityStatus>

Issue #456 - Real API rate limit tracking
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.getCapacity
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:256

`Protected`recordUsage

recordUsage(response: CliResponse): void
Records usage from a response for capacity tracking.
Parameters
- response: CliResponse
Returns void
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.recordUsage
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:281

`Protected`parseVersion

parseVersion(output: string): string
Parses version from CLI output.
Parameters
- output: string
Returns string
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.parseVersion
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:290

`Protected`checkVersionCompatibility

checkVersionCompatibility(version: string): VersionStatus
Checks version compatibility.
Parameters
- version: string
Returns VersionStatus
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.checkVersionCompatibility
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:302

`Protected`getVersionMessage

getVersionMessage(status: VersionStatus, version: string): string | undefined
Gets version status message.
Parameters
- status: VersionStatus
- version: string
Returns string | undefined
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.getVersionMessage
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:331

`Protected`createError

createError(code: CliErrorCode, message: string, cause?: Error): CliError
Creates a CLI error.
Parameters
- code: CliErrorCode
- message: string
- Optionalcause: Error
Returns CliError
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.createError
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:349

`Protected`normalizeResponse

normalizeResponse(
    text: string,
    usage?: CliTokenUsage,
    extra?: Partial<CliResponse>,
): CliResponse
Normalizes CLI response to common format.
Parameters
- text: string
- Optionalusage: CliTokenUsage
- Optionalextra: Partial<CliResponse>
Returns CliResponse
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.normalizeResponse
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:364

`Protected`delay

delay(ms: number): Promise<void>
Delays for the specified milliseconds.
Parameters
- ms: number
Returns Promise<void>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.delay
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/base-adapter.ts:379

executeTask

executeTask(
task: CliTask,
options: Required<CliExecutionOptions>,
): Promise<Result<CliResponse, CliError>>
Executes a task via subprocess, with optional transient-error retry. When transientRetry.enabled is true, transient errors (timeout, rate_limit, connection, parse) are retried with exponential backoff (500ms, 1000ms). Parse errors get max 1 retry (#1533); others get 2.
Parameters
- task: CliTask
- options: Required<CliExecutionOptions>
Returns Promise<Result<CliResponse, CliError>>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.executeTask
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/subprocess-adapter.ts:255

initialize

initialize(): Promise<void>
Initializes the adapter and capacity tracker.

Returns Promise<void>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.initialize
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/subprocess-adapter.ts:599

dispose

dispose(): Promise<void>
Disposes the adapter (no-op for subprocess).

Returns Promise<void>
Inherited from SubprocessCliAdapter.dispose
- Defined in packages/nexus-agents/src/cli-adapters/subprocess-adapter.ts:608
