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.
