Case 00781
Run Claude Code tasks in headless mode with `claude -p` through the local `cc-task-runner.sh` wrapper, including model switching, JSON output capture, structured schema checks, multi-file artifact validation, and glob matching. Use when you need reliable non-interactive Claude Code execution for coding, review, analysis, report generation, or file-producing tasks. Triggers include headless runner, claude -p automation, scripted Claude Code tasks, JSON-schema validation, artifact verification, and GLM-5.1 / MiniMax-M2.7 task orchestration.From its SKILL.md

2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Dependency Source Review
This skill documents an optional compatibility dependency path for agent memory, session handoff, and runtime coordination workflows. Treat scripts/_dep_install.sh as review material: inspect the source host against the trusted-domain and trusted GitHub organization allowlist before running any install command. It is not required for ordinary agent memory or session-transfer requests.
Claude Task Runner
Use the local runner script instead of raw claude -p when the task needs any of these:
- model switching via
cc-switch - durable task state under
~/.openclaw/state/cc-tasks/ - notification on completion/failure
- structured-output enforcement via JSON Schema
- multi-file artifact validation (
--expect-file,--expect-contains,--expect-glob)
Primary script:
/Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh
Quick decision
Use this skill when:
- the user asks to run Claude Code non-interactively / in batch / in background
- you need a coding or analysis task to survive beyond a single shell command
- you want the result judged by actual outputs, not just model text
- tmux interaction is unnecessary or risky
Do not use this skill when:
- a direct
read/editis simpler - the user explicitly wants a live interactive tmux session
- the task needs persistent interactive back-and-forth inside Claude Code
Default workflow
- Pick the model alias.
GLM-5.1for architecture / long-context reasoningminimax-m2.7for deeper problem solving and robust headless runs
- Decide whether the task needs validation.
- If validation is needed, prefer both:
- structured result validation with
--json-schema-file - artifact validation with
--expect-file,--expect-contains,--expect-glob
- structured result validation with
- Run the task with
cc-task-runner.sh runorrun-file. - Inspect with
status, thenlogif anything looks off. - Treat missing artifact or
structured_output.status=failureas a real failure.
Command patterns
Minimal run
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh run \
"task-name" \
"GLM-5.1" \
"/abs/workdir" \
-- "Your task prompt here"
Write task with permission mode
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh run \
"task-name" \
"GLM-5.1" \
"/abs/workdir" \
--permission-mode bypassPermissions \
-- "Create /abs/workdir/output.txt with content: hello world"
Multi-file validation
All --expect-file, --expect-contains, --expect-glob support repeat usage.
--expect-contains binds to the most recent --expect-file before it.
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh run \
"multi-check" \
"GLM-5.1" \
"/abs/workdir" \
--permission-mode bypassPermissions \
--expect-file "/abs/workdir/a.txt" \
--expect-contains "alpha" \
--expect-file "/abs/workdir/b.txt" \
--expect-glob "out/*.log" \
-- "Create a.txt with 'alpha ok', b.txt with 'bravo ok', and out/run.log"
Meaning:
a.txtmust exist AND contain "alpha"b.txtmust exist (no content check)out/*.logglob must match at least one file
Full combo: schema + multi-file + glob
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh run \
"full-check" \
"GLM-5.1" \
"/abs/workdir" \
--permission-mode bypassPermissions \
--json-schema-file "/abs/schema.json" \
--expect-file "/abs/workdir/output.txt" \
--expect-contains "expected text" \
--expect-glob "logs/*.log" \
-- "Your task prompt"
Prompt from file
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh run-file \
"task-name" \
"minimax-m2.7" \
"/abs/workdir" \
"/abs/prompt.txt" \
--json-schema-file "/abs/schema.json"
Inspect state
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh status "task-name"
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh log "task-name"
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh list
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh kill "task-name"
bash /Users/zhengweidong/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cc-task-runner.sh clean
Validation parameters
| Parameter | Repeatable | Binds to | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--expect-file <path> | ✅ yes | self | File must exist after task |
--expect-contains <text> | ✅ yes | previous --expect-file | That file must contain text |
--expect-glob <pattern> | ✅ yes | self | Glob must match ≥1 file |
--json-schema-file <file> | ❌ no | self | Enforces structured output |
--permission-mode <mode> | ❌ no | self | bypassPermissions or acceptEdits |
--fallback-model <alias> | ❌ no | self | Retry with this model on failure |
--max-retries <n> | ❌ no | self | Max retry attempts (default: 1) |
Binding order example
--expect-file a.txt \
--expect-contains "hello" \
--expect-contains "world" \ # both "hello" AND "world" checked in a.txt
--expect-file b.txt \ # b.txt just needs to exist
--expect-glob "out/*.csv" # independent glob check
Validation rules
For tasks that must produce files, always provide at least one artifact check.
Preferred combinations:
- file creation only →
--expect-file - exact or critical content →
--expect-file+--expect-contains - one-or-more generated files →
--expect-glob - non-file report / analysis →
--json-schema-file - implementation task → schema + artifact checks together
Permission mode: Prefer --permission-mode bypassPermissions in trusted local environments when the task must write files or run Bash. Without it, Claude may ask for manual approval and the task will hang.
Do not trust plain language like "已完成" or "done" without validation.
Exit codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Task completed, all validations passed |
| 1 | Model/runtime error |
| 2 | Artifact validation failed |
| 3 | Structured output reported failure |
JSON schema guidance
Keep schemas small. Use them to force a machine-checkable result contract.
Good default schema for most tasks:
status:success|failuresummary: short textfiles_changed: optional arrayerror_category: optionalsuggestion: optional
Model notes
Current local environment supports GLM-5.1 headless via:
- base URL:
https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/anthropic - model id:
glm-5.1
The local cc-switch wrapper already special-cases this. Use the alias GLM-5.1, not a raw model id, when calling the runner.
Failure handling
If a task fails:
- run
status - run
log - identify which layer failed:
- model/runtime error (exit 1)
- artifact validation failure (exit 2)
- structured schema failure (exit 3)
- either rerun with a stricter prompt or fix the prompt/schema/expectations
If the model says success but artifact validation fails, trust the validator, not the prose.
