Claude Code init ignores the code prompt

April 3, 2026Dan

Dan reports that Claude Code ignores the initial "code" prompt at startup, preventing accidental token waste when users type "claude code" in the terminal, and notes it is tracked in analytics.

this probably saved millions of wasted tokens lol
I checked the Claude Code source and it ignores the "code" prompt at init so you can type "claude code" in your terminal without firing off a useless task.
btw this is also tracked in their analytics
