What changed

  • Updated the Claude provider guide to use CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR instead of overriding HOME
  • Updated the provider field names and multi-account examples
  • Added a note for users who followed the older HOME-based instructions

Why

T3 Code now passes custom Claude paths through CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, so the existing instructions no longer match the app and can leave previously configured accounts appearing logged out.

Fixes #4696


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes with no runtime or security impact.

Overview
Updates the Claude provider guide so it matches how T3 Code isolates multi-account and router setups today.

Settings and terminology now refer to CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR path instead of Claude HOME path, and prose describes separate configuration directories rather than overriding HOME.

Setup examples use CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=... claude auth login and shorter example paths (e.g. ~/.claude_personal, ~/.claude_openrouter, ~/.claude_router) instead of HOME=... and *_home directories.

Adds a migration note for users who followed the old HOME instructions: log in again with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set to the path configured in T3 Code.

Minor doc cleanup: bullet lists use * consistently, and external links are plain URLs instead of angle-bracket markdown links.

Note

Update Claude multi-account setup docs to use CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR instead of HOME

Updates claude.md to standardize multi-account setup guidance around CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR rather than overriding HOME.

  • Replaces all references to 'Claude HOME path' with 'CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR path'
  • Updates login commands from HOME=... claude auth login to CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=... claude auth login
  • Shortens example config directory names (e.g. ~/.claude_personal_home~/.claude_personal)
  • Converts hyphen bullet lists to asterisk bullets and cleans up URL formatting

Macroscope summarized 4818abf.

* Updated the Claude provider guide to use `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` instead of overriding `HOME`
* Updated the provider field names and multi-account examples
* Added a note for users who followed the older `HOME`-based instructions

## Why

T3 Code now passes custom Claude paths through `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, so the existing instructions no longer match the app and can leave previously configured accounts appearing logged out.

Fixes pingdotgg#4696
