claudewheel CLI reference: TUI launcher, profile and permission management, health checks, installs, session tools, guardrails.

#c CLI Reference

A TUI Claude Code Launcher that lets you have more than one profile, manage sessions lifecycle, pick the exact CC version, model to use (even older unlisted ones), pick which GitHub account to use, etc.

Version: 0.32.2

#Commands

  • health -- run diagnostic health checks on profiles, tokens, and hooks, then exit
  • config -- open the ~/.claudewheel/ config directory in your $EDITOR
  • versions -- list all installed Claude Code versions, marking the current symlink target
  • install -- download and install a specific Claude Code version
  • uninstall -- delete an installed Claude Code version binary from the versions directory
  • reset-options -- delete options.json so it regenerates from defaults
  • show -- print a summary of current segment selections, theme, and recent directories
  • migrate -- move session data files from one profile to another, optionally filtered by UUID
  • stats -- report shared-store stats and clean up legacy data
  • mv -- rename a project directory and migrate session data
  • import -- import session data from an external Claude Code directory
  • deploy-hooks -- deploy built-in hook scripts to the ~/.claudewheel/scripts/ directory
  • patch-profiles -- reconcile every managed profile and shared-settings.json to EXACTLY the canonical guardrail model (hooks, disallowedTools, permissions deny/ask, canonical settings keys); prunes drift and user-added extras -- the old additive, extras-preserving behavior is gone. Deploys any missing guardrail hook scripts. The 'default' profile (~/.claude) is never touched. Preview with --dry-run; writing needs a terminal or --approve-consequential.
  • reconcile-permissions -- reconcile every managed profile and shared-settings.json to EXACTLY the canonical guardrail model (hooks, disallowedTools, permissions deny/ask and the canonical settings keys made exact; allow keeps only its non-conflicting entries); prunes all drift and user-added extras. The 'default' profile (~/.claude) is never touched. Pass --dry-run to preview the per-target diff without writing; writing needs a terminal to confirm at, or --approve-consequential.
  • purge-plugins -- remove the Claude Code plugin tree from the selected profiles: the official-marketplace clone and every plugin installed from it, six to ten megabytes per profile. Opt-in and separate from the canonical reconciliation, which is exact and would otherwise delete plugin state on every run. Names the marketplaces and plugins it finds before removing them; --dry-run reports the inventory without touching anything. New launches do not collect a new tree -- the launch environment suppresses the auto-install, one-way per profile. The 'default' profile (~/.claude) is never touched.
  • launch -- start the interactive TUI launcher to select a profile, model, and directory

#Command Groups

  • profile -- create, inspect, rename, delete, and manage Claude Code profiles and their stored tokens
  • permission -- add, remove, and list permission rules across Claude profiles

#Framework flags

These flags are owned by the strictcli framework, not by the app. No command may declare a flag with one of these names, and each is recognized anywhere on the command line.

Framework flags
FlagEffect
--dry-runPreview mode: no mutation runs. The framework prints a log of every effect the command would have performed.
--approve-consequentialSkips the confirmation prompt a consequential command shows before it runs.
--quietHides informational output. Warnings, errors, structured data and the dry-run log are never suppressed.
--verboseShows debug output. --quiet wins when both are passed.

#Deprecated

  • delete-profile -- Renamed: use 'claudewheel profile delete ' instead.
  • new-profile -- Renamed: use 'claudewheel profile create' instead.
  • show-profile -- Renamed: use 'claudewheel profile show ' instead.
