A desktop app that runs Claude Code can pass it to say that the `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` it manages is an Anthropic organization sign-in that the app obtained itself. `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` holds the value Claude Code sends to prove who you are. The flag is meant for desktop apps only.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is part of how desktop apps hand their sign-in to Claude Code.\n\n- Area: Auth\n- Names: `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no"}
