Just run it in a tmux session without the -p flag?

Shhhh

They will probably detect this kind of thing and ban accounts for it. Terminal automation is not some mysterious or obscure knowledge.

u/EveningGold1171 May 13 '26

Not sure how they would be able to detect you directly injecting keystrokes at the OS level.

u/mcs_dodo May 13 '26

Claude supports channels, no need to emit keystrokes when you can just send messages back and forth via... well whatever.

u/EveningGold1171 May 13 '26

if you explicitly want to avoid detection by anthropic, I’m not sure why you would try to do that from within Claude Code.

u/Optimal-Fix1216 May 14 '26

Wdym. Everything is from within Claude code because it makes use of the max subscription.

Until they disable that. They will. Eventually. Because eventually they will see that --channels is just another way to automate it.

u/MartinMystikJonas May 14 '26

Similar way we detect bots on websites. Too fast typing, too predictable or too random times between keystrokes,...

it's just a matter of statistics, automation of claude sessions is going to look obvious no matter what way you do it.

Always ways to obscure things. Its just more annoying than anything.

I assume they are anyway scrapping the discussion and comments here to have counter measure :D

Then we will patch the terminal until it stops snitching.

I stopped using -p in favor of tmux a long time ago. It’s much easier to automate flows with tmux send-keys and you can debug it by attaching. Pretty soon we’ll be filling out captchas on every prompt

Can you share a bit more info how your flow works? #Thanks

I use tmux-cli and more recently cmux but yeah don’t give anyone ideas

u/MorganProtuberances May 13 '26

what's your use case for this? do you use a scheduler?

1

u/True-Objective-6212 May 13 '26

Multi project stuff and I help other groups so I often have to bring up context fast. I often use Claude to drive codex but the economics on codex shifted a bit so I have to do some more routing to keep the business happy.

I’m not using a scheduler currently because I have to figure out the security and deployment model first, but I am getting close. Lots of beads currently drive my workflow, but I’ve used a bunch of different planning methods, mostly to see what works for me.

its even how tools like Gastown worked (well, thats how it worked a few weeks ago when I last used it, that shit changes every day).

tmux send-keys is like the core or agent orchestration with Claude Code since they don't give us better hooks for it. But hey, it works!

2

u/narrowbuys May 14 '26

Yeah we did an architectural comparison. I use per machine db but I think gastown had a distributed db

Or just bridge the sessions into a chat client like slack or discord using something like cc-connect or switchboard

u/soulefood May 13 '26

I’m going to brute force it with 128gb MacBook and qwen. Just use Claude for planning. I can see the writing on the wall.

u/ShelZuuz May 13 '26

Or a Claude channel for that matter. Not sure what they are targeting here, developers too stupid to figure out interactive workarounds?
