CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_ONBOARDING

Updated October 13, 2026 by Alex Sorokoletov

CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_ONBOARDING is a Claude Code environment variable: Replaced by newer onboarding paths (CLAUDE_CODE_POWERUP_ONBOARDING, /doctor's CLAUDE.md-trimming check). Removed between v2.1.143 and v2.1.212, so current releases ignore it. It is not in the official reference.

How to set it

For one session, export it in the shell that starts Claude Code:

export CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_ONBOARDING=<value>
claude

To apply it to every session, add it to the env object of a settings file:

// ~/.claude/settings.json
{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_ONBOARDING": "<value>"
  }
}
