tlive

Terminal Live — monitor and chat with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) from Telegram, Discord & Feishu.

Three features, use any combination:

Feature	What it does	Access from
Web Terminal	`tlive <cmd>` — wrap any command with a web-accessible terminal	Browser / Phone
IM Bridge	`/tlive` — chat with Claude Code from your phone	Telegram / Discord / Feishu
Hook Approval	Approve Claude Code permissions from your phone	Telegram / Discord / Feishu

Quick Start

# 1. Install npm install -g tlive 2. Configure your IM platform (interactive wizard) tlive setup 3. Register hooks + Claude Code skill tlive install skills 4. In Claude Code, start the bridge

/tlive

Recommended: Run /tlive setup inside Claude Code for an AI-guided setup experience that walks you through each step.

Web Terminal

Wrap any long-running command. Access from your phone's browser.

tlive claude                  # Wrap Claude Code
tlive python train.py         # Wrap a training script
tlive npm run build           # Wrap a build

$ tlive claude --model opus

TLive Web UI: Local: http://localhost:8080?token=abc123 Network: http://192.168.1.100:8080?token=abc123 Session: claude (ID: a1b2c3)

Multiple sessions in one dashboard. Daemon auto-starts, auto-shuts down after 15 minutes idle.

IM Bridge

Chat with Claude Code from your phone. Start new tasks, get streaming responses with real-time tool visibility.

You (Telegram):  "Fix the login bug in auth.ts"
TLive:  ● Read(auth.ts)
● Grep("validateToken" in src/)
● Edit(auth.ts)
├  Applied
● Bash(npm test)
├  All 42 tests passed

📊 12.3k/8.1k tok | $0.08 | 2m 34s

Verbose levels: /verbose 0|1 — quiet (final answer only) / terminal card (tool calls + results + response).

Hook Approval

Approve Claude Code tool permissions from your phone. Never get blocked by a [y/N] prompt again.

Claude Code runs normally in your terminal (no wrapper needed)
  │
  ├── Claude wants to run a command
  │   → Hook fires → Go Core receives → Bridge sends to your phone:
  │
  │   🔒 Permission Required
  │   Tool: Bash
  │   ┌──────────────────────────┐
  │   │ rm -rf node_modules &&   │
  │   │ npm install              │
  │   └──────────────────────────┘
  │   [✅ Yes] [✅ Allow Bash(npm *)] [❌ No]
  │
  ├── You tap [Yes] → Claude Code continues
  │
  └── Walk away. Claude keeps working.
      Phone buzzes only when approval needed.

Safe by design:

Timeout defaults to deny (not allow)
Shows exact tool name and command before you approve
Hook script checks if Go Core is running — if not, passes through (zero impact on normal usage)
Works with any Claude Code session, no wrapper needed

Pause when you're at your desk:

tlive hooks pause              # Auto-allow everything
tlive hooks resume             # Back to IM approval

IM Commands: These slash commands also appear in Telegram's native bot menu automatically.

Configuration

Single config file ~/.tlive/config.env (created by tlive setup):

TL_PORT=8080
TL_TOKEN=auto-generated
TL_HOST=0.0.0.0
TL_PUBLIC_URL=https://example.com
TL_ENABLED_CHANNELS=telegram,discord
Telegram
TL_TG_BOT_TOKEN=...
TL_TG_CHAT_ID=...
TL_TG_REQUIRE_MENTION=true        # @bot required in groups
TL_TG_DISABLE_LINK_PREVIEW=true   # cleaner messages
Discord
TL_DC_BOT_TOKEN=...
Proxy (for regions where Telegram/Discord is blocked)
TL_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890
Feishu
TL_FS_APP_ID=...
TL_FS_APP_SECRET=...
Claude Code settings scope (default: user)
user = auth/model only · full = +CLAUDE.md/MCP/skills · isolated = none
TL_CLAUDE_SETTINGS=user

See config.env.example for all options.

Settings scope: By default, bridge only loads ~/.claude/settings.json (API key, model config). Set TL_CLAUDE_SETTINGS=user,project,local or use /settings full in chat to also load project CLAUDE.md, MCP servers, and skills.

Remote Access (frp / tunnels)

To access the web terminal from outside your LAN (e.g. via frpc, Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok):

Forward local port 8080 (or your TL_PORT) through the tunnel
Set TL_PUBLIC_URL to your tunnel domain:
```
TL_PUBLIC_URL=https://your-domain.com
```
IM messages will use this URL for web terminal links instead of the LAN IP.

Security notes: The tunnel exposes full terminal access. Make sure:

TL_TOKEN is set (auto-generated by tlive setup) — all requests require this bearer token
IM user whitelists are configured (TL_TG_ALLOWED_USERS, TL_DC_ALLOWED_USERS, etc.)
Use HTTPS on the tunnel side (frps/Cloudflare handle this automatically)
