Features

Smart Piped Command Handling

**The problem:** Claude Code's permission system uses prefix matching. If you allow `Bash(ls:*)` and `Bash(grep:*)`, running `ls | grep foo` still prompts for permission because the full string doesn't match any single prefix.

**The solution:** A PreToolUse hook that parses piped commands using `shfmt`, checks each component individually against your allowed permissions, and auto-approves if all parts match.

Shell Configuration Fix

**The problem:** Claude Code ignores the `$SHELL` environment variable and always uses the system default shell (`/bin/zsh` on macOS). This means you lose access to your PATH, aliases, and shell-specific configuration.

**The solution:** A shell alias that wraps the `claude` command to set `SHELL` correctly, plus `env.SHELL` configuration in settings.json.
