How It Works

Claude Island installs hooks into `~/.claude/hooks/` that communicate session state via a Unix socket. The app listens for events and displays them in the notch overlay.

When Claude needs permission to run a tool, the notch expands with approve/deny buttons—no need to switch to the terminal.
