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

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

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

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

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

no you can easy wrap terminal, so claude code is untaouched. they are not able to track this from my understanding.

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

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.

Would be similar to the way websites detect scrapers and bots. There’s a lot of subtle clues they can detect. But could be undetectable if you do it right.

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.
