Connecting Claude Code to Dailybot

Claude Code is one of the most capable AI coding agents available. It can plan complex tasks, write production-quality code, and execute multi-step development workflows autonomously. But once it finishes a task, its output disappears into the commit log where nobody tracks it systematically.

Connecting Claude Code to Dailybot fixes this gap. Every time Claude Code completes meaningful work, it sends a progress report to your team’s Dailybot feed, making agent contributions visible alongside human updates.

Prerequisites

You need a Dailybot account with the agent reporting feature enabled, the Dailybot CLI installed in the environment where Claude Code runs, and authentication configured. If you are running Claude Code in a devcontainer or Docker environment, install the CLI as part of your container setup.

Step 1: Install the Dailybot CLI

Install the CLI in your development environment. If you are using a devcontainer, add it to your setup script so it is available in every session.

npm install -g @dailybot/cli

Step 2: Authenticate

Run the login command and follow the verification flow. Dailybot sends a one-time code to your email.

dailybot login [email protected]

Enter the code when prompted. If your organization has multiple workspaces, select the appropriate one.

Step 3: Configure the reporter script

The reporter script is a small bash wrapper that formats and sends reports. Add it to your project repository so Claude Code can call it after completing tasks.

The script handles metadata injection (repo name, branch, model ID) automatically. You only need to provide the summary message and any structured data about what was completed.

Step 4: Add reporting to your agent instructions

In your project’s agent configuration (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or equivalent), add instructions telling Claude Code to report progress after significant work. The key is defining what counts as “significant” so the agent does not spam your feed with trivial updates.

Good triggers for reporting include: feature implemented, bug fixed, major refactor completed, plan finished, or 3+ related commits building toward a goal. Bad triggers include: single typo fix, formatting changes, dependency updates, or uncommitted work.

Step 5: Verify the connection

Have Claude Code complete a small task and send a test report. Check your Dailybot feed to confirm the update appears correctly with the right metadata (agent name, branch, repo).

Ongoing usage

Once connected, Claude Code reports flow into the same timeline as human check-ins. Your team gets a unified view of all work happening on the codebase, regardless of whether a person or an agent did it. This is the foundation for agent observability.
