The ability to start a Claude Code session in a temporary "config free" mode, similar to how incognito works for chrome, would be a nice feature to make this easy to try out, especially since model releases are so frequent.
Yep! Only (potential) downside to --bare is it runs in print mode; can't kick off an interactive session with it. The flags I listed above are a close approximation.
Anthropic had something about API-only in the description a couple months back, but they've been waking all those back for months since the fable access rollback fallout

You can do this but you have to pass a million long options like --disable-system-prompt --allowed-tools "" etc
I have some wrappers but the only one I really use is a variant of that pinned to haiku for quick questions.
`claude --bare --system-prompt ""` is a good starting point!
