Source: Anthropic official docs — CLI reference Type: Product Reference Product: Claude Code
The complete surface for the claude binary — every subcommand and every flag. This page is the canonical “how do I invoke X from the shell?” lookup. The official claude --help is intentionally short and does not list every flag, so a flag’s absence from --help does not mean it is unavailable.
Quick command map
claude is one binary with several subcommands. Group them by purpose:
| Purpose | Commands |
|---|---|
| Start / continue session | claude, claude "query", claude -c, claude -r |
| Programmatic / piped | claude -p, cat file | claude -p "query" |
| Install / update | claude install [version], claude update |
| Auth | claude auth login, claude auth logout, claude auth status, claude setup-token |
| Inspect config | claude agents [--cwd <path>] [--json] [--permission-mode <mode>] [--model <alias>] [--effort <level>] (W21: --cwd filters view to sessions started under that directory; --json for scriptable output), claude auto-mode defaults |
| Background sessions | claude attach <id>, claude logs <id>, claude stop <id> (alias: kill), claude rm <id>, claude respawn <id> [--all], claude daemon status — manage sessions spawned from the Agents view (W20, v2.1.144) |
| MCP / plugins | claude mcp, claude plugin (alias claude plugins), claude plugin init <name> (scaffold a new plugin), claude plugin list [--enabled|--disabled] (W24, v2.1.163 — list installed plugins with optional filter), claude plugin tag, claude plugin prune |
| Code review | claude ultrareview [target] (W16+, non-interactive Ultrareview) |
| Project management | claude project purge [path] (deletes all state: transcripts, tasks, file history, config entry; --dry-run, -y, -i, --all) |
| Remote control | claude remote-control |
Mistyped subcommands surface a “Did you mean…?” suggestion and exit without starting a session.
Sessions
| Form | What happens |
|---|---|
claude | Interactive session in the current directory. |
claude "query" | Interactive session, with the first user message pre-filled. |
claude -c / --continue | Load the most recent conversation in this directory (includes sessions added via /add-dir). |
claude -r <id-or-name> | Resume a specific session by ID, by name, or via picker. --fork-session mints a new ID. v2.1.144+: the picker also surfaces background sessions (marked [bg]). |
claude -p "query" / --print | Single-shot SDK query, no interactive UI. Programmatic / scripted entry point. |
cat file | claude -p "query" | Piped content goes into the same SDK call. Standard non-interactive workflow. |
claude --session-id <uuid> | Pin a specific UUID for the conversation (must be valid UUID). |
claude -n "name" / --name | Set a session display name (shown in /resume and the terminal title). /rename swaps it mid-session. |
claude --from-pr <pr> | Resume sessions linked to a PR (number, GitHub/GHE URL, GitLab MR URL, Bitbucket PR URL). Auto-linked when Claude creates the PR. |
Web sessions, remote control, and teleport
The CLI is one of three Claude Code surfaces — local terminal, claude.ai web sessions, and the Claude app. Three flags bridge them:
--remote "task description"— create a new web session on claude.ai for the task. Runs in Anthropic’s cloud.--teleport— pick a running web session and resume it in the local terminal.--remote-control/--rc(interactive) orclaude remote-control(server-only) — start a local session you can also drive from claude.ai or the Claude app.--remote-control-session-name-prefix(orCLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX) sets the auto-generated name prefix.
Auth and install
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
claude auth login | Sign in. --email pre-fills email, --sso forces SSO, --console signs into Anthropic Console for API-key billing instead of a Claude subscription. |
claude auth logout | Sign out. |
claude auth status | JSON status by default; --text for human-readable. Exit code 0 = logged in, 1 = not. |
claude setup-token | Generate a long-lived OAuth token for CI / scripts. Prints to terminal without saving. Requires a Claude subscription. |
claude install [version] | Install or reinstall the native binary. Accepts 2.1.118, stable, or latest. |
claude update | Update to the latest version. |
CLI flags by intent
There are roughly fifty flags; grouping them by what they configure makes the reference scannable.
Permissions and tool surface
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--permission-mode <mode> | Start in default, acceptEdits, plan, auto, dontAsk, or bypassPermissions. Overrides settings. |
--dangerously-skip-permissions | Equivalent to --permission-mode bypassPermissions. |
--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions | Add bypassPermissions to the Shift+Tab cycle without starting in it (so you can switch in mid-session). |
--allowedTools | Tools that execute without prompting. Pattern syntax (e.g., "Bash(git log *)" "Read"). |
--disallowedTools | Tools removed from the model’s context entirely. |
--tools | Restrict the built-in toolset. "" disables all, "default" enables all, or list ("Bash,Edit,Read"). |
--disable-slash-commands | Disable all skills and slash commands for this session. |
--permission-prompt-tool <mcp-tool> | Route permission prompts through an MCP tool (non-interactive flow only). |
--add-dir <path...> | Grant additional working directories for read/edit. .claude/ config is not discovered from these paths. |
Model, effort, and budget
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--model <alias-or-id> | Set model. Aliases sonnet/opus resolve to the latest, or pass full IDs like claude-sonnet-4-6. |
--effort <level> | Session-scoped effort: low, medium, high, xhigh, max (availability depends on model). Doesn’t persist to settings. UI labels renamed in v2.1.154: “Speed” → “Faster”, “Intelligence” → “Smarter”. Opus 4.8 defaults to xhigh. |
--fallback-model | Auto-fall back to a model when the default is overloaded (print mode only). |
--max-turns <N> | Cap agentic turns (print mode only). Exits with error at the limit. |
--max-budget-usd <N> | Hard dollar cap on API spend (print mode only). |
--betas <header> | Beta headers in API requests (API-key users only). |
System prompt
Four flags, two pairs. All work in interactive and non-interactive modes.
| Flag | Behavior |
|---|---|
--system-prompt <text> | Replace the entire default prompt. |
--system-prompt-file <path> | Replace with file contents. |
--append-system-prompt <text> | Append to the default prompt. |
--append-system-prompt-file <path> | Append from a file. |
--system-prompt and --system-prompt-file are mutually exclusive. Append flags can combine with either replace flag. Default to appending — it preserves Claude Code’s built-in capabilities and only adds your requirements. Replace only when you need full control.
Print / non-interactive (-p)
-p / --print flips Claude Code into SDK mode — no interactive UI, prompt → response → exit. The print-only flags below depend on it:
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--output-format <text|json|stream-json> | Output shape. JSON is one blob; stream-json emits incrementally. |
--input-format <text|stream-json> | Input shape (paired with --output-format for full streaming). |
--include-hook-events | Include all hook lifecycle events in the output stream. Requires --output-format stream-json. |
--include-partial-messages | Include partial streaming events. Requires --print and --output-format stream-json. |
--replay-user-messages | Re-emit user messages from stdin on stdout for acknowledgment. Requires --input-format stream-json and --output-format stream-json. |
--json-schema <schema> | Validate output against a JSON Schema after the agent completes its workflow. |
--no-session-persistence | Don’t save the session to disk; not resumable. |
--exclude-dynamic-system-prompt-sections | Move per-machine sections (cwd, env info, memory paths, git status) into the first user message. Improves prompt-cache reuse across users/machines running the same task. Ignored when a custom system prompt is set. |
Bare mode and init lifecycle
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--bare | Skip auto-discovery of hooks, skills, plugins, MCP servers, auto memory, and CLAUDE.md. Bash + file read + file edit only. Sets CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE. The fastest scripted entry point. |
--init | Run Setup hooks with the init matcher before the session (print mode only via -p). |
--init-only | Run Setup and SessionStart hooks, then exit without starting a conversation. Useful for CI one-time setup. |
--maintenance | Run Setup hooks with the maintenance matcher before the session (print mode only via -p). |
Subagents and agent teams
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--agent <name> | Pin one subagent for the session (overrides settings). |
--agents '<json>' | Define custom subagents inline. Same field names as subagent frontmatter, plus prompt for instructions. |
--teammate-mode <mode> | How Agent Teams teammates display: in-process (default as of v2.1.179), tmux, or auto. Default changed from auto in v2.1.179. |
Worktrees and Chrome
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--worktree <name> / -w | Start in an isolated git worktree at <repo>/.claude/worktrees/<name> (auto-generated name if omitted). |
--tmux (or --tmux=classic) | Wrap the worktree in a tmux session. Requires --worktree. Uses iTerm2 native panes when available. |
--ide | Auto-connect to IDE on startup if exactly one is available. |
--chrome | Enable Chrome browser integration for web automation/testing. |
--no-chrome | Disable Chrome integration for this session. |
MCP, plugins, channels
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--mcp-config <files-or-json> | Load MCP servers from JSON files or inline strings (space-separated). See Essential MCP servers. |
--strict-mcp-config | Use only what --mcp-config declares — ignore other MCP configurations. |
--plugin-dir <path> | Load plugins from a directory for this session only. Repeat the flag for multiple directories. |
--channels <plugins> | (Research preview) MCP servers whose channel notifications Claude listens for. Space-separated plugin:<name>@<marketplace>. Requires claude.ai auth. |
--dangerously-load-development-channels | Enable channels not on the approved allowlist (local dev). Accepts plugin:<name>@<marketplace> and server:<name>. Confirmation prompt. |
Settings, debug, version
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--settings <path-or-json> | Path to a settings JSON file or inline JSON string for additional settings. |
--setting-sources <list> | Comma list of which sources to load: user, project, local. |
--ax-screen-reader | (v2.1.181) Render screen-reader friendly output: flat text without decorative borders or animations. |
--debug "<categories>" | Debug mode with category filtering, e.g. "api,hooks" or negated "!statsig,!file". |
--debug-file <path> | Write debug logs to a path. Implicitly enables debug mode. Takes precedence over CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_LOGS_DIR. |
--verbose | Full turn-by-turn logging. |
--version / -v | Print version. |
Environment variables
The CLI reads several environment variables that aren’t exposed as flags. Most ship via What's New digests; gathered here for lookup:
| Variable | Effect |
|---|---|
CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE | Set automatically by --bare. Skips auto-discovery of hooks, skills, plugins, MCP, auto memory, CLAUDE.md. |
CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_LOGS_DIR | Default location for debug logs (overridden by --debug-file). |
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON | Disables /loop and CronCreate/List/Delete. Already-scheduled tasks stop firing. |
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER | (W14, v2.1.89) Opt into the alt-screen renderer with virtualized scrollback. Required for W15’s Ctrl+O focus view. |
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL | (W13, v2.1.84) Enables the native PowerShell tool on Windows. As of v2.1.143, PowerShell is on by default on Windows for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry users. Set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=0 to opt out. |
CLAUDE_CODE_PERFORCE_MODE | (W15) Edit/Write fail on read-only files with a p4 edit hint instead of silently overwriting. |
CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE | (W15) Defaults to os (trusts OS CA store, enterprise TLS proxies work without setup). Set to bundled to opt out. |
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_MANTLE | (W15) Set to 1 to route Amazon Bedrock through Mantle. |
ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H | (W16, v2.1.108) Opts API key, Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry users into 1-hour prompt cache TTL (default is 5 min). High-value for workloads with long prefixes that pause mid-session. |
CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT | (W17) Set to 1 on external builds to enable forked subagents that inherit the full conversation context instead of starting fresh. |
ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_SERVICE_TIER | (v2.1.122) Select a Bedrock service tier. |
CLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX | Same effect as --remote-control-session-name-prefix. |
CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP | (W21, v2.1.143) Override the default 8-block cap for looping Stop hooks. A Stop hook that blocks repeatedly will cause Claude to end the turn with a warning after this many consecutive blocks. Default: 8. See Hooks. |
CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY | (v2.1.143) Set to 1 to opt out of the default -ExecutionPolicy Bypass flag that Claude Code now passes to PowerShell on Windows. |
ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID | (W21, v2.1.141) Workload identity federation: scopes the minted token to a specific workspace when the federation rule covers more than one Anthropic workspace. |
CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS | (W21, v2.1.141) Clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH. For sandboxed CI, ephemeral devboxes, or locked-down enterprise terminals without a GitHub SSH key. |
New settings keys (W19–W21)
Settings keys added to settings.json since the W17 reference:
| Key | Added | Effect |
|---|---|---|
worktree.baseRef | W19, v2.1.128 | fresh (default) branches --worktree, EnterWorktree, and agent-isolation worktrees from the remote default branch. Set to head to branch from local HEAD (keeps unpushed commits in new worktrees). |
settings.autoMode.hard_deny | W19, v2.1.136 | Block matching actions unconditionally in auto mode regardless of allow exceptions. For actions that should never run automatically even when broader allow rules apply. |
parentSettingsBehavior | W19, v2.1.128 | Admin key: opt SDK managedSettings into the policy merge. Allows admins to control how managed settings interact with parent policy layers. |
worktree.bgIsolation | W21, v2.1.143 | "none" lets background sessions edit the working copy directly without EnterWorktree, for repos where worktrees are impractical (very large repos, monorepos with symlink-heavy configs). Default behavior requires EnterWorktree for isolation. |
New slash commands and aliases (W16–W17)
Added since the CLI reference was last updated:
| Command / alias | Added | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
/usage | W16 (v2.1.111); per-category v2.1.149 | Shows what drives your limits: parallel sessions, subagents, cache misses, long context — each with % of last 24 hrs and an optimization tip. Press d or w for day/week views. Merges old /cost and /stats. v2.1.149 (May 22): adds a per-category breakdown — Skills, Subagents, Plugins, and per-MCP-server cost — so you can see which surface is consuming your budget. |
/tui | W16 (v2.1.110) | Toggles between classic and flicker-free rendering mid-conversation. Can also set the tui setting in config. |
/focus | W16 (v2.1.110) | Collapses view to last prompt, one-line tool summary with diffstats, and final response. Replaces Ctrl+O. |
/code-review | W22 (v2.1.147) | Reports correctness bugs at a chosen effort level (e.g., /code-review high). Pass --comment to post findings as inline GitHub PR comments. Renamed from /simplify in v2.1.147 — /simplify is removed; update any automation. |
/recap | W17 (v2.1.108) | On-demand session recap: one-line summary of what happened since you last focused this session. Auto-shown on return; toggle from /config. |
/fewer-permission-prompts | W16 | Scans transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP calls and proposes an allowlist entry for .claude/settings.json. |
/undo | W16 (v2.1.108) | Alias for /rewind. |
/proactive | W16 (v2.1.105) | Alias for /loop. See Scheduled Tasks. |
vim v / V | W17 (v2.1.118) | Vim visual mode in the prompt input: v for character selection, V for visual-line, with operators and visual feedback. |
Settings additions (W16): sandbox.network.deniedDomains — carves specific domains out of a broader allowedDomains wildcard in the sandbox network config. /config now persists to ~/.claude/settings.json (W17, v2.1.119) — theme, editor mode, verbose, and similar settings survive restarts and follow the project/local/policy precedence chain.
New flags (v2.1.178–v2.1.181, 2026-06-21 watchlist sweep)
--ax-screen-reader(v2.1.181) — Render screen-reader friendly output: flat text without decorative borders or animations. Useful for accessibility needs and for piped output where ANSI TUI decorations are unwanted.--teammate-modedefault changed (v2.1.179) — Default changed from"auto"to"in-process". Theautovalue (split panes if inside tmux, otherwise in-process) is still available as an explicit value but is no longer the default. Users who relied on automatic tmux split panes must now set--teammate-mode tmuxexplicitly.
Removed / deprecated
--enable-auto-mode— removed in v2.1.111. Auto mode is now in theShift+Tabpermission-mode cycle by default; use--permission-mode autoto start there.
New flags, settings & commands (W25, v2.1.166–v2.1.170)
From the Week 25 release digest (June 6–9 2026):
fallbackModelsetting +--fallback-model(v2.1.166) — configure up to three fallback models tried in order when the primary is overloaded/unavailable;--fallback-modelnow also applies to interactive sessions. Claude Code also retries a turn once on the fallback model on an unexpected non-retryable API error.--safe-modeflag +CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE(v2.1.169) — start with all customizations disabled (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP servers) for troubleshooting./cdcommand (v2.1.169) — move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session.disableBundledSkillssetting +CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BUNDLED_SKILLS(v2.1.169) — hide bundled skills, workflows, and built-in slash commands from the model.- Glob deny rules (v2.1.166) — glob patterns now allowed in the deny-rule tool-name position (
"*"denies all tools); allow rules reject non-MCP globs; unknown tool names in deny rules warn at startup. - Thinking-disable (v2.1.166) —
MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0,--thinking disabled, and the per-model toggle now disable thinking on think-by-default models via the Claude API (3P unchanged; does not apply to always-on Fable 5). claude agents --json(v2.1.169) — now includes blocked + just-dispatched sessions; new--allflag (completed sessions) plusidandstatefields.
New settings & fixes (W26, v2.1.174–v2.1.176)
From the Week 26 release digest (June 12 2026):
languagesetting (v2.1.176) — pin the language for auto-generated session titles. Without this, session titles are generated in the language of the conversation. Set to a BCP 47 tag (e.g.,"en") to always use a specific language regardless of conversation language.footerLinksRegexessetting (v2.1.176) — array of regex patterns; matching links appear as compact badge entries in the footer row. Configurable via user settings or pinned by managed settings. Use to surface ticket numbers or PR URLs inline.enforceAvailableModelsmanaged setting (v2.1.175) — whentrue, (1) theavailableModelsallowlist constrains the Default model (a Default that would resolve to a disallowed model falls back to the first allowed model), and (2) user or project settings cannot widen the managedavailableModelslist. Previously, Default and user-side settings could escape the allowlist. Companion toavailableModels(v2.1.162 area) and the version gates added in W24.wheelScrollAccelerationEnabledsetting (v2.1.174) — set tofalseto disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode. Useful on trackpads where aggressive acceleration overshoots during code review./modelpicker now shows actual Default resolution (v2.1.174) — Opus shows as its own row on Max/Team Premium/Enterprise plans; Sonnet on Pro/Team; Opus on pay-as-you-go API.- VSCode
Account & usage(/usage) per-category breakdown (v2.1.174) — cache misses, long context, subagents, and per-skill/agent/plugin/MCP attribution over 24h or 7d. VSCode companion to the CLI/usageper-component breakdown added in W21 (v2.1.149).
Recent Signals
[Reddit signal — r/ClaudeCode 2026-05-09]: r/ClaudeCode post 1t8712b (“20 Claude Code commands worth using”, score 318) inventories operator-level slash commands grouped into stop/undo/branch (Esc, double-Esc//rewind, /btw, /branch), context management (/compact, /clear, /export, /resume, claude -c, claude -r, /remote-control aka /rc), working-smarter (/model opusplan, /simplify, /insights HTML report at ~/.claude/usage-data/report.html, /loop with .claude/loop.md overrides, /skills [name]), and keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+V paste screenshots, Ctrl+J newline-without-send, Ctrl+R prompt history search, Ctrl+U clear input). Notable hazard surfaced in comments: /model opusplan has an unresolved bug where every subagent runs Opus (very expensive) — flagged for Quick command map consumers to verify before adopting opusplan as default. Verify each entry exists in this reference and append any that are missing during the next refresh pass.
[X signal — @bcherny 2026-05-21 → SHIPPED v2.1.149]: Boris Cherny (@bcherny) announced an upcoming /usage breakdown by Skills, Agents, MCPs, and Plugins. Shipped in v2.1.149 (2026-05-22) — see the updated /usage row in the table above. /usage now shows per-category attribution on top of the existing day/week view.
[Reddit signal — r/ClaudeCode 2026-05-22]: r/ClaudeCode post 1tkv87g (“/remote-control is a window into what the future is going to be like”, score 490 / 203 comments, u/OpinionsRdumb) is the highest-engagement /remote-control thread to date — workflow validation, not new feature surface. The OP frames /remote-control as a replacement for running 2-3 simultaneous local agents: enter /remote-control in CLI or Desktop, the session syncs in real time to the phone Claude app, you can drive it from anywhere, and the multi-agent burnout pattern collapses into one sequential session you check on from your phone. Anchors the --remote-control / claude remote-control row above as a load-bearing primitive (alongside Managed Agents and the --remote / --teleport siblings) rather than a niche flag. No CC version delta — feature has been live since W21; the signal is community validation crossing into broad awareness.
[Claude Code update — 2026-06-02, @ClaudeDevs]: /fork changed semantics → background agent; old behavior renamed /branch. /fork now spawns a background agent that inherits your exact context (system prompt, tools, conversation history, model selection) plus the prompt cache, and returns its result directly into your current session — delegated/parallel work with no context or cache loss. The previous /fork behavior (copy the transcript into a new session you drive manually) is now /branch — i.e. the /branch in the 2026-05-09 inventory above is this renamed command. Shipped on the v2.1.160/161 line; the full changelog lands in the Week-24 release digest. Source: @ClaudeDevs.
Key Takeaways
- One binary, named subcommands (

Most automation flags (--output-format,--max-turns,--max-budget-usd,--no-session-persistence,--include-hook-events) only apply with-p.--bareis the fastest scripted entry — skips auto-discovery of hooks, skills, plugins, MCP, auto memory, CLAUDE.md. Pair with-pfor cheap scripted calls.--exclude-dynamic-system-prompt-sectionsis the multi-tenant prompt-cache lever: hoists per-machine state into the user message so the cached prefix is shared across users running the same scripted task.--fork-sessionexists alongside--resume/--continue— the standard way to branch off an existing conversation without overwriting it.- Three modes for “how does Claude Code talk to claude.ai?”:
--remote(push to web),--teleport(pull web back to terminal),--remote-control/claude remote-control(drive local from web/app). - Mistype protection:

Try It
- Cheapest non-interactive call.
claude --bare -p "summarize this in one line" < notes.txt— no auto memory, no plugins, no MCP, no CLAUDE.md scan. Useful in cron jobs and CI scripts where you just want the model. - Force a specific model + effort.
claude --model claude-sonnet-4-6 --effort high "..."to pin both for one session without changing settings. - Plan-mode start.
claude --permission-mode planso the first turns plan-only; switch to write mode viaShift+Tabonce aligned. - Worktree-isolated session.
claude -w feature-auth --tmux— clean branch + tmux split. Keeps speculative work out of the main checkout. - Resume by name.

Open Questions
- The page lists
claudesubcommands but does not include slash commands — those live under a separate “Interactive mode” / commands reference. Worth a future ingest. - Environment variables referenced (
CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE,CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_LOGS_DIR,CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON,CLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX) point to a separate/en/env-varspage. Ingest candidate for the env-var matrix. - The “See also” section names Chrome extension, Interactive mode, Quickstart, Common workflows, Settings, and Agent SDK pages — none currently in the wiki at full depth. Candidate ingests if the surface keeps growing.
