Gotchas
- Env vars don't persist across Bash tool commands. Use
CLAUDE_ENV_FILEor a SessionStart hook. - Checkpoints don't track bash changes — only direct file edits via Edit/Write tools are tracked.
applyTo: "**"burns context — always-on instructions load on every interaction. Use specific globs.- macOS Alt shortcuts require Option-as-Meta in your terminal (iTerm2: Profiles → Keys → "Esc+").
--baredisables everything — hooks, skills, plugins, MCP, auto-memory, CLAUDE.md. Use for fast scripted calls.- Hook
ifpatterns use tool permission syntax:Bash(rm *)matches bash commands starting withrm. - Plugin agents can't use
hooks,mcpServers, orpermissionModefrontmatter for security reasons.
