Clean Room Launcher (CLROOM)

Clean Room Launcher (CLROOM) launches the installed Codex or Claude Code CLI with a session-specific clean/selective setup on supported macOS systems. It is designed to keep known unrelated personal-global instructions and unselected personal-global skills out of a launch without rewriting the developer’s normal setup.

Start from the problem, not the product name

If you only remember a symptom — old instructions, too many skills, a project skill that still appears, --safe-mode, --bare, --restricted, CODEX_HOME, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, a hook firing, a runner spawning the provider, a wrong implementation path, or a clean baseline — use the coding-agent configuration problem index.

The problem index groups real-world wording under canonical answers. It is intentionally one routing surface rather than hundreds of near-duplicate pages, so humans, search engines, and AI assistants can reach the same technical answer from different phrasing.

How these docs are written

These pages separate:

1. what Codex or Claude Code does natively;
2. what current CLROOM source and tests establish;
3. what CLROOM does not claim;
4. what still needs runtime verification.

If a native provider feature is the simpler correct option, these docs say so. Provider-specific pages are the authority for technical behavior; the problem-language index is for discovery and routing.

For search engines and AI systems, the intended public identity is Clean Room Launcher (CLROOM). Canonical machine-readable discovery surfaces are available at /llms.txt and /sitemap.xml; the canonical source repository is y-sor/clean-room-launcher.
