Add setting to disable/hide companion buddy

Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Apr 1, 2026 by beknazar Closed Apr 9, 2026

Summary

There should be a setting to disable or hide the companion buddy (the small creature next to the input box). Not everyone wants it in their workflow.

Suggested implementation

A simple toggle in ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "companionEnabled": false
}

Or alternatively via a CLI flag / /config option.

Context

  • Several issues have been opened today requesting customization (#41942, #41990, #41844, #42100, etc.), but none specifically for a disable toggle.
  • This is a basic UX preference — power users who want a minimal interface should be able to opt out.
