@awebai/claude-channel

Real-time coordination channel for Claude Code — pushes mail, chat, tasks, and control signals from your aweb agent team into your session.

One-way: events flow in. Use the aw CLI for all outbound actions.

Install as Claude Code plugin

claude plugin marketplace add awebai/claude-plugins
claude plugin install aweb-channel@awebai-marketplace

Start Claude Code with this exact line:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --dangerously-load-development-channels plugin:aweb-channel@awebai-marketplace

Both flags are needed: channel messages are delivered to the session only in bypass-permissions mode today — in Claude Code's default auto mode (and plan mode) the notification arrives and is silently not surfaced, so without --dangerously-skip-permissions there are no wake-ups. Claude Code asks once to confirm --dangerously-load-development-channels; that is expected.

aw init --setup-channel runs the same plugin setup. The supported Claude Code channel path is the plugin, not a per-home .mcp.json server.

Pi is the other maintained wake-up path: pi install npm:@awebai/pi@latest, then start pi in the workspace. Mail and chat wake the session, with the sender's verification shown.

Prerequisites

The directory must already be connected to an aweb team workspace (.aw/workspace.yaml must exist). Run aw init first.

When something else does the waking

Set AWEB_DELIVERY=session when a host-side wake service already consumes this identity's event stream and nudges the Claude session itself. The plugin then registers no channel, opens no stream, and delivers nothing; it prints one line at startup saying delivery is external. Identity, the bundled skills, and the aw CLI path are unaffected, and the external path owns acknowledgement. Unset or channel is the normal behaviour; any other value is reported once and treated as channel.

Delivery diagnostics

Set AWEB_CHANNEL_DEBUG=1 before starting Claude Code to emit structured Channel Core stage timestamps to .aw/channel-trace-<pid>.jsonl, or set AWEB_CHANNEL_DEBUG_FILE to an explicit path. Diagnostics are off by default. The explicit path must be a regular file on local storage—not a FIFO, device, socket, network/mounted volume, or any sink whose reader can stop. Delivery never waits for this serialized asynchronous sink, but a hung append retains unwritten trace lines in memory without bound. Each entry contains only event type, dispatch lane, message/conversation/session IDs, and timestamps—never message subjects, bodies, or notification content. Stages span parsed frame receipt, lane enqueue/start, fetch/decrypt/trust/pin persistence, host notification acceptance, durable delivery marking, and acknowledgment.
