The terminal, tamed.
Your clone lives in Claude Code, which lives in the terminal. You need exactly two skills there: reading one line, and answering one kind of prompt. Here they are.
Reading the status line
If you took the Klyr look during setup, a one-line status bar sits at the bottom of Claude Code:
🐾 Nova (Opus) │ my-notes (main) │ klyr ✦247 · hosted │ ctx 34%
Left to right:
- Your clone's name and the model it is thinking with right now.
- The folder you are in, and the git branch if there is one. Ignore the branch if you do not use git.
- The memory segment:
klyr ✦247 · hostedmeans your clone holds 247 memories and runs in hosted mode (orlocalif you self-host). This is your at-a-glance proof that memory is alive. - Context: how full the current conversation is, as a percentage. Approaching 100% means the conversation is getting long; a fresh session starts clean, and your clone remembers what mattered.
If the memory segment shows ✦—, memory is not reachable right now. See Troubleshooting.
Permission prompts, explained
Claude Code asks permission before doing things on your machine: running a command, editing a file. That is the permission prompt, and by default it appears a lot. Safe, but noisy: you end up pressing "yes" all day.
Permission modes decide how often it asks. For working with a clone, auto is the sweet spot: it stops asking for routine, reversible actions, but destructive things (deleting files, sending things out) still require your yes. Almost the freedom of full bypass, without handing over the keys.
To set it: type /config, go to permissions, choose auto.
Full bypass mode exists but we do not recommend it. It never asks, including for the actions you would have wanted to see. Auto gives you nearly all the flow with none of the blind spots.
Copying text out
In recent Claude Code versions, just select text with your mouse and it is copied. No keyboard shortcut needed. If selecting does not copy on your setup, the classic route still works: select, then the usual copy shortcut for your system.
