FAQPage Schema
How do I run Claude Code in an isolated testing environment?▼

To run an isolated Claude Code instance for testing, you execute a helper script that copies workshop playground content into a temporary directory, bypassing global CLAUDE.md configurations to provide a clean slate.

Why does Claude Code load parent directory settings when I only want a fresh instance?▼

Parent directory settings load because Claude Code defaults to reading parent CLAUDE.md files. To bypass this, you need an isolated environment that uses a temporary directory to prevent loading parent project settings.

Can I test how a new user interacts with Claude Code without my existing configurations?▼

Yes, you can simulate a fresh user experience by launching an isolated Claude Code instance that bypasses your home and parent directory CLAUDE.md files, providing a completely clean slate for testing.

What is the best way to test Claude Code features without global CLAUDE.md interference?▼

The best way to test without CLAUDE.md interference is running an isolated Claude Code instance in a temporary directory, which ensures your global configurations do not load and affect the testing outcomes.

Do I need a temporary directory to bypass global configurations in Claude Code?▼

Yes, a temporary directory is required to isolate the Claude Code instance, as it ensures the environment is free from parent project settings and global configurations that would otherwise load automatically.
