claude-code Allow not tracking sessions

I am using claude -p for one off things inside scripts.

Unfortunately, it started to pollute my session list in a particular directory, when I use claude -r.

Would be great, if I can just pass a flag, and not record it.

Thanks!

@0xRaduan this is a really cool idea... I haven't tried it yet (and can't try it right now cuz API outage), but have you tried deleting the project directory for that project? or set up something to auto-clean it or something. not really a solution but a workaround.

No, I can't do that, because there is no deterministic way to tell which sessions are from one-off scripts in this directory and which ones are from my chats

i haven't looked into that issue, maybe you're right but i'll let you know if i find anything helpful. In any case i think this is a good request, like a "temporary chat" feature (chatgpt has this... come to think of it, i guess Claude Desktop doesn't)

Can you state exactly what you're looking for? I have some similar solution implemented for interactive mode so just need to know the details. You want to send a message in -p mode and then have the session log disappear after you get the response?
