Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

Current Documentation

When I run claude --help, I expect --remote-control to be listed as a flag, but it isn't! I only see --remote-control-session-name-prefix <prefix>

What's Wrong or Missing?

--remote-control missing as a flag under --help

Suggested Improvement

--remote-control should exist under --help

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

confusion to users

extent analysis

TL;DR

The --remote-control flag is missing from the claude --help output and should be added to the documentation.

Guidance

  • Review the code responsible for generating the --help output for the claude CLI tool to ensure that the --remote-control flag is properly documented.
  • Verify that the --remote-control flag is correctly implemented and functional, as its absence from the documentation may indicate a larger issue.
  • Check the documentation generation process to ensure that it accurately reflects the available flags and options for the claude CLI tool.
  • Consider adding a test to ensure that the --help output includes all expected flags, including --remote-control.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the implementation details.

Notes

The solution assumes that the --remote-control flag is a valid and functional option for the claude CLI tool. If this flag is not intended to be used or is deprecated, its removal from the documentation may be intentional.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the documentation to include the --remote-control flag, or investigate why it is missing and correct the underlying issue. This is recommended because the absence of the flag from the documentation is causing confusion for users and preventing them from using the feature.
