[FEATURE] Claude character skins (e.g. cowboy hat, astronaut, etc.)

Problem Statement

Claude Code's terminal UI currently uses a fixed visual identity for the Claude character/mascot. There is no way to customize or change the appearance of the Claude character shown in the interface, which limits personalization and makes long coding sessions feel less fun and engaging.

Proposed Solution

Add a skins system to the Claude Code interface that lets users select different cosmetic appearances for the Claude character/mascot. Examples of skins could include:

• 🤠 Cowboy – Claude with a cowboy hat and bandana
• 🧑‍🚀 Astronaut – Claude in a space suit
• 🧙 Wizard – Claude with a pointy hat and staff
• 🥷 Ninja – Claude in a ninja outfit
• 🎩 Top Hat – a classic formal look

This could be configured via a setting in claude config or through a --skin <name> CLI flag. The selected skin could be stored in user settings and persist across sessions.
