new-claude-at

Open a new Konsole window running a fresh Claude Code CLI session at an arbitrary path. Use when the user asks for "a new claude at <path>", "claude in <other repo>", "spawn claude over in <dir>", or similar. Unlike `new-claude-here`, this takes an explicit target directory. Supports optional seed prompt and self-destruct.

Preview

Spawn a sibling Claude Code session in a new Konsole window at an **arbitrary** directory the user specifies. Companion to `new-claude-here` (which uses `$PWD`) — use this one when the target is somewhere else on disk.

New Claude Session At Path

Spawn a sibling Claude Code session in a new Konsole window at an arbitrary directory the user specifies. Companion to new-claude-here (which uses $PWD) — use this one when the target is somewhere else on disk.

Inputs

Target path — absolute path, or a path relative to the current repo. Required. If the user hasn't given one, ask. Expand ~ and resolve to an absolute path before launching.
Seed prompt (optional) — an initial prompt or slash command to run in the new session (e.g. /brainstorm-solutions:deep-research). Passed as a positional argument to claude.
Self-destruct (optional) — if the caller says "close this one", "self-destruct", or "hand off", close the current Konsole after the new one is verified. Default: keep current open.

Steps

1. Resolve and verify target

target=$(readlink -f "<given-path>")
[ -d "$target" ] || { echo "not a directory: $target"; exit 1; }

2. Launch new session

IMPORTANT: When passing a seed prompt, wrap claude in bash -c so that Konsole sets the working directory correctly before Claude starts. Without this wrapper, Claude may open in the wrong directory.

If a seed prompt is provided:

setsid konsole --workdir "$target" -e bash -c 'claude "<seed-prompt>"' >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Otherwise:

setsid konsole --workdir "$target" -e claude >/dev/null 2>&1 &

setsid + background detaches so the new window survives the current session exiting.

3. Self-destruct (if requested)

If the caller requested self-destruct, follow the same pattern as new-claude-here:

Snapshot existing Konsole PIDs: before=$(pgrep -x konsole).
Verify a new Konsole PID appeared after launch.

If verified, warn the user and close the current Konsole:

(sleep 3 && kill -TERM $(ps -o ppid= -p $PPID | tr -d ' ')) &

If no new PID appeared, ABORT — do not close anything.

4. Report

Tell the user:

The absolute path the new session was launched in
Whether a seed prompt was passed
If self-destruct is pending

Notes

The new session is standalone — no shared memory with this one.
For full context transfer without Junction, run session-transfer:write-handover first.
Do not block waiting on the Konsole process.
