Lightning Conduit

The power channel to Claude. Hijacks authenticated browser sessions to send AI requests through Claude.ai without requiring API keys.

No API Keys Required: Conduit uses your existing Claude.ai browser session. If you're logged into Claude.ai in Firefox, Conduit can send requests on your behalf.

Features

Session Hijacking

Extracts authentication cookies from Firefox profiles. No need to manage API keys or tokens.

Request Queuing

Queue multiple requests. Conduit handles rate limiting and session management automatically.

Response Streaming

Stream Claude's responses in real-time as they're generated. No waiting for complete responses.

Project Routing

Send requests to specific Claude.ai projects. Maintain context separation between workloads.

Integration

Conduit powers several Lightning products:

Lightning Forge

Sends code to Claude for AI-powered validation and fixing. Multi-pass until perfect.

Lightning Phantom

Background agent uses Conduit for overnight autonomous task execution.

Personal Use Only: Conduit is designed for personal infrastructure. It uses your own Claude.ai session and is subject to Claude.ai's terms of service.
