This sounds like a great idea and as it turns out klap already has a JS api. It is largely undocumented though, since the primary use for klap was from command line.

For the basic JS, I think something like this should work: (untested code below)

const { klap } = require("klap");
const isProd = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production";

const command = isProd ? "build" : "start";
const pkg = { name: "my-project-name", version: "5.4.0", };

(async () => {
  await klap(command, pkg);
})();

It would be great to formalize this API and document it to be able to create a middleware like you noted above. However, the actual middleware should be outside the core for klap to keep the scope limited for this project.
