[FEATURE] Incognito mode in Claude Code

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When I run Claude code in --print mode, I usually don't need to refer to that conversation later.

For example, I often use it to automatically commit changes to my code.

These conversations aren't something I'll ever refer back to, BUT they end up cluttering up the conversation history when I try to find an earlier session using /resume.

Proposed Solution

I'd like to be able to run claude --print --incognito. This would prevent the conversation history from being stored in ~/.claude/projects.

Alternative Solutions

I can't think of any other way to accomplish this other than a native flag.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

Example:

1. I make some changes with Claude Code.
2. I leave the session and run claude -p "/dev:commit" --incognito
3. Claude Code commits the files
4. I run claude -c
5. Claude resumes the previous session where I made the changes
6. The conversation history for the commit workflow is not stored
