⚠️ Warning: Swarm mode spawns parallel agents that will consume tokens faster. Use wisely.

🚀 Quick Start

# Enable swarm mode (Teammate tool)
npx cc-black enable swarm

# Run Claude with hacks enabled
cc

That's it. The cc command runs Claude Code with all your enabled hacks.

🐝 Available Hacks

Hack	Status	Description
swarm	✅ Available	Teammate tool for parallel agents
memory	🔜 Coming	Persistent memory across sessions
keybinds	🔜 Coming	Custom keyboard shortcuts

Swarm Mode

Enables the Teammate tool - spawn parallel Claude instances that work together.

npx cc-black enable swarm

Then in Claude:

"Spawn a team of 3 agents to analyze this codebase"

⚡ Heads up: Multiple agents = multiple token streams. Great for speed, watch your usage.

🛠 Commands

npx cc-black enable <hack>    # Enable a hack
npx cc-black disable <hack>   # Disable a hack
npx cc-black list             # List available hacks
npx cc-black status           # Show what's enabled
npx cc-black update           # Re-patch after Claude updates
npx cc-black uninstall        # Remove everything

After Enabling

cc                            # Run Claude with all enabled hacks

📁 How It Works

The Architecture

~/.cc-black/
├── config.json       # Your enabled hacks
├── cli.js            # Patched Claude Code
└── bin/
    └── cc            # Command to run it

The Patches

Claude Code uses Statsig for feature flags. We patch the local CLI to bypass:

// Before (checks remote flag + subscription)
isEnabled() {
  return D8() && OP1();  // Feature flag && subscription check
}

// After (always enabled)
function D8() { return true; }
function OP1() { return true; }

What's Safe

• ✅ Patches your local copy only
• ✅ Doesn't touch the original claude command
• ✅ Easy to uninstall

🔄 After Claude Updates

If Claude Code updates and things break:

npx cc-black update

This re-copies the CLI and re-applies your enabled hacks.

🗑 Uninstall

npx cc-black uninstall

Or manually:

rm -rf ~/.cc-black
# Remove the cc-black line from ~/.zshrc

❓ FAQ

Why cc instead of claude?

We don't modify your original claude command. The cc command runs the patched version, so you can always use vanilla claude if needed.

Does this work with native install?

Yes! CC-Black finds your Claude Code installation (npm or native) and patches a copy.
