launch-top-level-claude-session

Launch a new top-level interactive Claude Code session in a new Windows Terminal tab, on Windows or in WSL, in a chosen folder, optionally remote-controllable and seeded with a prompt or handoff file. Use whenever the user asks to start, open, launch or spawn a new or separate Claude Code session, or to hand off to a fresh one.

Compatibility

Requires a Windows PC with Windows Terminal (and WSL for the WSL launchers). Works whether Claude runs on the Windows host (Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7) or inside the WSL distro (via bash + Windows interop). Not applicable on Claude.ai web, the mobile app, headless/remote sandboxes, macOS, or plain Linux without Windows underneath.
