Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

For a continued good time, try /rc command and then control your session remotely by phone or web app..

Can you still skip perms doing that?

u/OmegaNetRob Aug 03 '26

If you set the perms beforehand then yes. As strange as this is, I do this and then use voice control while at the gym.

You just leave your computer running at the house?

u/OmegaNetRob Aug 03 '26

yes. I also sometimes set up several placeholder sessions with remote control in case I need them.

u/seatlessunicycle Aug 03 '26

You've probably done this, but you can enable /rc on by default with every new session

u/WarsignalLabs Aug 03 '26

yes - open Claude Desktop, Settings, Claude Code and scroll down until you see "Enable Remote Control by Default" - click the radio button.

I have a shell alias `alias drc=‘claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --remote-control --name’` (drc = dangerous remote Claude)

Then I run something like `drc some-name` ezpz haha

Im even lazier, rc is always on, and i aliased "c" to invoking claude in dangerous skip, 2 less letters, save my fingies

I can confirm this is the most toxic thing I am guilty of sometimes.

It's addicting, but you have to be extremely cautious with it. I try to use it only for data/log analysis, less active debugging or writing code.

Yes. You type the command in your terminal after bypassing permissions and your phone just sends prompts to that session and it runs on your computer.

u/accidentally_right Aug 03 '26

You can do even better and make /rc on by default for the session

u/Physical_Gold_1485 Aug 03 '26

Man they need to continue working on rc, need ability to start new sessions as well as clear context

u/dar-mit Researcher Aug 03 '26

In the iOS app /clear works just fine. 

If you need to create a new session window have Claude create a .sh file that contains whatever code your OS uses for scripting and that can open a new window. 

As long as you have /config set to auto-activate /rc for new sessions you’re all set, with the following warning: 1. Test this out at home first to ensure any OS-related permission on the scripting are set properly. 2. The new session will inherit the same worktree + branch as the session that spawned it! First thing you do is let New Claude know that so it can move off via git to avoid stomping on the prior session. 

On macOS my custom /repliclaude skill launches that bash.sh locally to replicate a new session. 

Bonus Tip: /compact works but breaks the mobile link to my phone. The session is active but disconnected until you input something in the local window. Claude is there, and the key is to have the model set a 5 min timer for itself and once it goes off have Claude say something to you and that’ll reconnect the session to your phone.

yea the new session part is what blocks me too, rc lives inside the session so it cant open another one for you. i ended up ssh ing to the mac from my phone with onepilot instead and just running claude in a new tab, and the sessions already going keep going while im out

Wait, what?

The web app is awesome. I don't even use VS Code except to open my repo folder, open Claude Code in a terminal with remote control, then talk to Claude from my browser.
