Phase 3: Claude Code Delegation

Goal

LARS can hand off complex tasks to Claude Code.

When to Delegate

• Multi-file code changes
• Complex refactoring
• Tasks requiring tool access
• Long-running operations
• Things LARS can't do locally

Implementation

1. Delegation Trigger

Train LARS to recognize when to delegate:

User: "Hey LARS, refactor the auth module"
LARS: <think>This requires multi-file changes and deep code analysis. I should delegate to Claude Code.</think>
<answer>That's a complex task. Let me hand this off to Claude Code for you.</answer>

2. SSH Execution

import subprocess
import uuid

def delegate_to_claude(task: str, project_path: str = None):
    session_id = str(uuid.uuid4())

    cmd = ["claude", "-p", task, "--session-id", session_id]

    if project_path:
        cmd = ["bash", "-c", f"cd {project_path} && {' '.join(cmd)}"]

    result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=300)
    return {
        "output": result.stdout,
        "session_id": session_id,
        "success": result.returncode == 0
    }

3. Result Reporting

LARS summarizes what Claude Code did:

LARS: "Claude Code finished the refactor. It updated 5 files:
- auth/login.py - Added token validation
- auth/middleware.py - New rate limiting
- tests/test_auth.py - Added 12 new tests
All tests passing. Want me to explain any changes?"

Success Criteria

• Seamless handoff from voice to Claude Code
• Session persistence for follow-ups
• Clear status updates during execution
• Results summarized by LARS
