feat: support CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for user-scope Claude Code installs#622
Merged
Conversation
Claude Code honours the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to override the default ~/.claude configuration directory, allowing multiple accounts to run side-by-side. Pup now respects this variable when resolving user-scope install paths for the claude-code platform. When CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set, skills install to /skills/ and agents to /agents/ instead of ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.claude/agents/. Project-scope installs are unaffected. Closes #619
