Hawk SDK for Go

Dependency-free Go client for the Hawk daemon API

---

Hawk SDK for Go is the official Go client library for the Hawk daemon API. It provides a dependency-free, type-safe client for interacting with Hawk's HTTP API from Go applications.

Ecosystem

Hawk SDK for Go is part of the hawk-eco mono-ecosystem:

Component	Purpose
hawk	AI-powered coding agent for the terminal
hawk-sdk-go	Go SDK for the Hawk daemon API
hawk-sdk-python	Python SDK for the Hawk daemon API
hawk-core-contracts	Shared cross-repo contracts (types, events, tools)

Architecture

The SDK follows a clean separation of concerns:

hawk-sdk-go/
├── client.go           # Main Client with HTTP transport and functional options
├── types.go            # API types and request/response structs
├── errors.go           # Typed error hierarchy with status code mapping
├── retry.go            # Exponential backoff with Retry-After support
├── stream.go           # SSE StreamReader for streaming responses
├── stream_helpers.go   # Text and tool call collectors from streams
├── agent.go            # Higher-level Agent abstraction with conversation management
├── tools.go            # Tool definition types

Key Design Decisions

• Zero runtime dependencies: Zero third-party runtime imports, pure Go standard library (build-time oapi-codegen tooling is gated behind //go:build tools and does not affect the runtime module graph)
• Idiomatic Go: Follows Go conventions, error handling patterns, and naming
• Local-only: Designed for developers running Hawk locally on their machine
• Single package: All exported symbols in the hawksdk package
• Functional options: Client configuration via With*() functions

Quick Start

import "github.com/GrayCodeAI/hawk-sdk-go"

// Create client with options
client := hawksdk.New(
    hawksdk.WithBaseURL("http://localhost:4590"),
    hawksdk.WithAPIKey("sk-..."),
    hawksdk.WithRetry(hawksdk.DefaultRetryConfig()),
)

// Health check
ctx := context.Background()
health, err := client.Health(ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("health check failed: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Daemon version: %s\n", health.Version)

// Send a chat message
resp, err := client.Chat(ctx, hawksdk.ChatRequest{
    Prompt:   "Explain what a closure is in Go",
    Model:    "claude-opus-4-6",
    MaxTurns: 5,
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("chat failed: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("Response: %s\n", resp.Response)

// Stream a response
stream, err := client.ChatStream(ctx, hawksdk.ChatRequest{
    Prompt:   "Analyze this repository",
    Autonomy: "high",
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("stream failed: %v", err)
}
defer stream.Close()

for {
    event, err := stream.Next()
    if err != nil {
        break // io.EOF or error
    }
    fmt.Print(event.Data)
}

WithHTTPClient(client *http.Client)	Use custom HTTP client
WithAPIKey(key string)	Set API key for authentication
WithRetry(cfg RetryConfig)	Enable automatic retries with backoff

Client Methods

Method	Description
Health(ctx) (*HealthResponse, error)	Check daemon health and version
Chat(ctx, req ChatRequest) (*ChatResponse, error)	Send a chat message
ChatStream(ctx, req ChatRequest) (*StreamReader, error)	Stream chat responses via SSE
Sessions(ctx) ([]SessionSummary, error)	List active sessions
Session(ctx, id string) (*SessionDetail, error)	Get session details
Messages(ctx, sessionID, opts *ListOptions) (*PaginatedResponse[Message], error)	Get paginated messages
DeleteSession(ctx, id string) error	Delete a session
Stats(ctx) (*StatsResponse, error)	Get aggregated usage stats

API Types

Type	Description
ChatRequest	Request body for /v1/chat
ChatResponse	Response from /v1/chat
HealthResponse	Response from /v1/health
SessionSummary	Session listing entry
SessionDetail	Full session information
Message	Conversation message with tool calls

Error Types

Type	HTTP Status

BadRequestError	400
AuthenticationError	401
ForbiddenError	403
NotFoundError	404
InternalServerError	500
ServiceUnavailableError	503
RateLimitError	429

Retry Configuration

type RetryConfig struct {
    MaxRetries        int
    InitialBackoff    time.Duration
    MaxBackoff        time.Duration
    BackoffMultiplier float64
    RetryableStatusCodes []int
}

Ecosystem Boundaries

• hawk-sdk-go is a consumer of Hawk public APIs and contracts
• Do not import support engine repos: eyrie, yaad, tok, trace, sight, or inspect
• Do not import hawk/internal/* or removed legacy paths
• Cross-repo shared types come from Hawk public surfaces or hawk-core-contracts
