DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.73

--remote-control CLI Flag

What

Start Claude Code with Remote Control enabled directly from the command line, optionally naming the session.

Usage
claude --remote-control
claude --remote-control my-project
claude --rc my-project          # shorthand alias
Details
  • Launches Claude in "spawn mode," which lets you create new sessions in the current project from Claude Code on Web or the Mobile app
  • Supports --spawn=same-dir (default) or --spawn=worktree for git worktree isolation
  • Includes a circuit breaker: if Remote Control encounters repeated failures, it disables itself for the session with a message to restart
  • Checks account eligibility and shows "Remote Control is not enabled for your account; --rc flag ignored." if unavailable
Evidence

Remote Control spawn mode (search for "--remote-control", "Alias for --remote-control", "Remote Control disabled after repeated failures")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
