 "title": "Speed up Claude Code calls in scripts with --bare",
 "page_title": "How to speed up Claude Code calls in scripts with --bare with Claude Code Tips Tricks",
 "summary": "Pass the --bare flag with explicit config so scripted runs skip local file discovery.",
 "who": "A developer or CI maintainer calling Claude Code from a script where the inputs are already known.",
 "problem": "Claude Code searches the filesystem for CLAUDE.md, settings, and MCP configs before every run, which slows down scripted use.",
 "outcome": "Scripted runs start faster because they load only the config you pass in explicitly.",
 "steps": [
  "Decide which system prompt, MCP config, and settings the script needs.",
  "Pass them explicitly with --system-prompt, --mcp-config, and --settings.",
  "Run `claude -p \"summarize this codebase\" --output-format=stream-json --verbose --bare` from your script. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Check that the output stream arrives and that the run starts faster than before."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo at <repo-path>, run claude -p with --bare and explicit --system-prompt, --mcp-config, and --settings values to summarize <target-directory>. Expected output: a stream-json summary of the codebase. Verify that the command exits successfully and that no CLAUDE.md file was loaded by discovery.",

 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
