Anthropic is moving claude -p to per-token API billing on June 15 — interactive sessions stay subscription-billed. If you have any pipelines that use claude -p today, they'll start generating API charges.
I just thought of a quick stopgap — a ~50-line Python wrapper that replicates claude -p's one-shot behavior using an interactive session instead.
The trick is getting the interactive session to self-terminate after it produces output — the gist handles that plus timeout/retry since LLMs don't always follow instructions reliably.
It's not a long-term solution — but may be helpful to get you through the transition. For my own Claude integration, I ended up having to build something heavier to move away from claude -p.
