Bypass permissions, remote control, agent teams, max thinking tokens, and more. Defaults saved to ~/.config/claudebar/config.json.
Dedicated tmux socket (-L claudebar), isolated from your other tmux sessions. Feature changes atomically restart Claude with --resume — side panes survive, conversation preserved.
