CC-Connect AI Bridge
Skill by
ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
CC-Connect bridges locally running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Qoder CLI, OpenCode, iFlow CLI) to messaging platforms you already use. You can chat with your local agent from Telegram, Feishu, Slack, Discord, DingTalk, WeChat Work, LINE, or QQ — no public IP required for most platforms.

# Scan QR code to log in
cc-connect weixin setup
toml
[project.mybot.platform]
type = "weixin"

Chat Commands (sent in the messaging platform)
| Command | Description |
|---|
| Show all available commands |
| Switch AI model (e.g. ) |
| Change permission mode (e.g. ) |
| Tune reasoning intensity |
| Switch working directory for next session |
| Jump to a directory from history |
| Toggle to previous directory |
| Restore configured |
| Alias for |
| Read or write the agent's memory/instruction file |
| Run a shell command (admin only) |
| Manage sessions (list, continue, new) |
| Continue from last session (forks to avoid inheriting broken state) |
| Schedule a recurring task |
| Stop the currently running agent |
Slash command examples (in chat)
# Ask the agent to review a PR
Review the changes in branch feature/auth and summarize the risks.
# Switch to a different model
/model gemini-2.0-flash
# Change working directory
/dir /home/user/other-project
# Schedule a daily summary
/cron 0 6 * * * Summarize GitHub trending Go repos and post here
# Read agent memory
/memory
# Update agent memory
/memory Always prefer table-driven tests in Go. Use context.Context for cancellation.
Multi-Agent Relay (group chat orchestration)
Bind multiple bots in one group chat so they communicate with each other:
toml
# Bot 1: Claude
[project.claude-bot]
name = "claude-bot"
work_dir = "/home/user/project"
data_dir = "/home/user/.cc-connect/data/claude"
[project.claude-bot.agent]
type = "claude-code"
[project.claude-bot.platform]
type = "telegram"
token = "$TELEGRAM_CLAUDE_BOT_TOKEN"
# Bot 2: Gemini (same group)
[project.gemini-bot]
name = "gemini-bot"
work_dir = "/home/user/project"
data_dir = "/home/user/.cc-connect/data/gemini"
[project.gemini-bot.agent]
type = "gemini"
[project.gemini-bot.platform]
type = "telegram"
token = "$TELEGRAM_GEMINI_BOT_TOKEN"
Add both bots to the same Telegram group. Mention them by name and they will pick up and respond to each other's output.
Voice and Multimodal
For platforms that support voice (Telegram, Feishu, DingTalk), enable speech in config:
toml
[speech]
provider = "openai" # openai | azure | google
api_key = "$OPENAI_API_KEY"
[speech.stt]
model = "whisper-1"
[speech.tts]
model = "tts-1"
voice = "alloy"
Send a voice message in Telegram → cc-connect transcribes it → forwards text to the agent → optionally speaks the response back.
For images/screenshots: just attach the image in chat. cc-connect forwards it to multimodal-capable agents.
Cron Scheduling
toml
# In config.toml, per-project cron settings
[project.mybot.cron]
timeout = "30m" # max runtime per job
fresh_session = true # start a new session for each run
From chat:
# Every weekday at 9am, run a standup summary
/cron 0 9 * * 1-5 Summarize open PRs and blockers in this repo
# Every hour, check for new issues labeled "urgent"
/cron 0 * * * * Check for new GitHub issues labeled urgent and notify me
Admin configuration
toml
[project.mybot]
admin_from = "alice,123456789" # comma-separated usernames or IDs
Admins can use
,
, and other privileged commands. Non-admins cannot.
Directory structure
~/.cc-connect/
├── config.toml # main config

└── my-project.state.json # persisted dir override, session state
Common patterns
Pattern 1: Mobile-first AI development
Install cc-connect on your dev machine, connect it to Telegram. From your phone:
- Send a task description as a message
- Agent runs on your machine
- Streamed response appears in chat
- Reply to continue the conversation
Pattern 2: Team shared AI bot (Slack/Feishu)
One cc-connect instance per project, shared in a team channel. Team members can ask questions, trigger code reviews, or run analyses — all without terminal access.
Pattern 3: Scheduled reports
/cron 0 8 * * 1 Generate a weekly summary of commits and open issues, format as markdown
Pattern 4: Multi-project routing
Run multiple projects in one
process, each bot handles a different repo or concern.
Troubleshooting
Bot not responding
- Check that is running:
- Verify the platform token/credentials in config
- For Telegram: ensure the bot token is valid ( in BotFather chat)
- For Feishu: check WebSocket connection in Feishu Open Platform console
Agent not found
bash
# Verify agent is installed and in PATH
which claude # for claude-code
which gemini # for gemini
which codex # for codex
Set explicit path in config if needed:
toml
[project.mybot.agent]
type = "claude-code"
bin = "/usr/local/bin/claude"
Session inherits broken state
Use
which forks the session, or start fresh:
Personal WeChat not available
You need the beta build:
bash
npm install -g cc-connect@beta
cc-connect weixin setup # scan QR in terminal
Context too long / auto-compress
Enable in config:
toml
[project.mybot.agent]
auto_compress = true
compress_threshold = 80000 # tokens before compression kicks in
Config not found
Default path is
~/.cc-connect/config.toml
. Pass explicitly:
bash
cc-connect --config /custom/path/config.toml
Check version
