Drivers

Overview

A driver is the bridge between AgentBeacon and a specific coding agent CLI. AgentBeacon orchestrates agents you already have installed — each driver knows how to start, communicate with, and manage a particular CLI.

  • Claude Code installed and authenticated (claude command available)
  • Active Anthropic API key or Claude Pro/Team subscription
{
  "name": "claude-lead",
  "driver": "claude_sdk",
  "model": "sonnet"
}

Models available: opus, sonnet, haiku (short aliases), or full model IDs like claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5.
