tiann/hapi: README-based editorial guide
A guide grounded in the README, repository metadata, and license for installing and checking tiann/hapi.
Project scope
tiann/hapi describes itself in the README as "App for Claude Code / Codex / Pi / OpenCode / Kimi Code, vibe coding anytime, anywhere". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "HAPI", the README says: Run official Claude Code / Codex / Cursor Agent / Grok Build / OpenCode sessions locally and control them remotely through a Web / PWA / Telegram Mini App.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.
Suitable use cases
The README's "Features" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: Native First - HAPI wraps your AI agent instead of replacing it. Same terminal, same experience, same muscle memory.. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: Seamless Handoff - Work locally, switch to remote when needed, switch back anytime. No context loss, no session restart.. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.
How it works
The operating model is spread across sections such as "Credits". The source evidence includes: HAPI means "哈皮" a Chinese transliteration of Happy. Great credit to the original project.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.
Installation and first run
Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: bun install bun run build:single-exe When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Features" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
