TL;DR

Add a "buddyEnabled": false setting to settings.json to permanently disable the companion feature.

Guidance

• Consider implementing a check at the start of each session to read the buddyEnabled setting from settings.json and disable the companion feature if it is set to false.
• Evaluate the current workaround of adding an instruction to CLAUDE.md and assess its reliability and potential for errors.
• Investigate how to handle cases where the user wants to enable the companion feature after it has been permanently disabled.

  "buddyEnabled": false
}
