Claude Code 2.0.74 prompt changes:

• Pre-commit hook failure rule simplified: fix + new commit : Claude’s git commit guidance for pre-commit hook failures is simplified. The prior detailed decision tree (reject vs auto-format → possible amend) is removed; now Claude should fix the issue and create a NEW commit, deferring to amend rules.

• ExitPlanMode no longer documents swarm launch params: Claude’s ExitPlanMode tool schema drops the explicit launchSwarm/teammateCount fields. The parameters are no longer documented in the JSON schema (properties becomes {}), signaling Claude shouldn’t rely on or advertise swarm launch knobs when exiting plan mode.

• New LSP tool added for code intelligence queries: Claude gains an LSP tool for code intelligence: go-to-definition, find-references, hover docs/types, document/workspace symbols, go-to-implementation, and call hierarchy (prepare/incoming/outgoing). Requires filePath + 1-based line/character.

Has the experience or workflow with the new Claude Code version improved? I’ve often read that the previous version, 1.0.88, was much better.

Did Anthropic release an update that fixed those issues, and is it now much better to work with the new LLM-4.5 Sonnet model together with Claude Code?

Feel free to share your current experiences.

Claude Code just feels different. It's the only setup where the best coding model and the product are tightly integrated. "Taste" is thrown around a lot these days, but the UX here genuinely earns it: minimalist, surfaces just the right information at the right time, never overwhelms you.

Cursor can't match it because its harness bends around wildly different models, so even the same model doesn't perform as well there.

Gemini 3 Pro overthinks everything, and Gemini CLI is just a worse product. I'd bet far fewer Google engineers use it compared to Anthropic employees "antfooding" Claude Code.

Codex (GPT-5.1 Codex Max) is a powerful sledgehammer and amazing value at 20$ but too slow for real agentic loops where you need quick tool calls and tight back-and-forth. In my experience, it also gets stuck more often.

Claude Code with Opus 4.5 is the premium developer experience right now. As the makers of CC put it in this interview, you can tell it's built by people who use it every day and are laser focused on winning the "premium" developer market.

I haven't tried Opencode or Factory Droid yet though. Anyone else try them and prefer them to CC?

There is a new update to Claude Code, just dropped now, no release notes to it.

But after this update, the Claude started reading through the codebase similar to Codex, going through everything, every file and reading every line.

Not sure if this has to do with this update, but I have been using Claude 2.0+ for the past two days and this is the first time it go through codebase like this.

Anyone noticed something different with Claude after this CLI update?

Anthropic just officially released Claude for Chrome for all Pro, Team and Enterprise users. This update transforms Claude from a standalone tab into a native side-panel assistant that can "read" your active browser tabs for context.

The Major Updates:

• Claude in Chrome: Now available in the side-panel of your browser, allowing you to chat while you browse or research.

• Claude Code Integration: You can now run the /chrome command in the latest version of Claude Code to test and validate your work directly in the browser.

• Pull Context From Anywhere: A new one-click feature to feed the content of any website directly into Claude for analysis or debugging.

• Seamless Sync: Works natively with your existing logins, projects, and bookmarks in the side-panel.

Availability: Available now for all Paid Plans (Pro, Team and Enterprise).

Get the Extension: claude.com/chrome

Being able to test Claude Code directly in the browser side-panel is a huge step toward fully autonomous web development. How are you planning to use the "Pull Context" feature for your research?

The latest version of Claude-Code has completely lost its agentic qualities. It now behaves more like a basic, guessing flashlight-style local model dumb and unresponsive rather than the intelligent tool it used to be.

In [email protected], everything worked perfectly: it followed context seamlessly, remembered previous actions, created its own to-do lists, and genuinely felt like collaborating with a real coder buddy. But the new release is an absolute disaster. I have no idea whose idea it was to approve and release this version—it's a huge step backward.

I've disabled auto-updates in the .claude.json and downgraded back to [email protected], which is still perfect for my needs. I highly recommend others try downgrading too if you're facing the same issues.

Version 1.0.24:
• Improved /mcp output
• Fixed a bug where settings arrays got overwritten instead of merged

Version 1.0.25:
• Slash commands: moved "project" and "user" prefixes to descriptions
• Slash commands: `improved reliability for command discovery`
• Improved support for Ghostty
• Improved web search reliability

Finally My Slash Commands are working again, I never did the delete my whole config reset trick... I just awaited the official patch and here we are! Thank you Anthropic.

PSA: Maybe it is just me but there is a new /permissions Slash Command UX and it is feels great!

Guys, do reprot back on the improved web search reliability, happy coding.

With the latest version of Claude Code I am hitting context limits within 1-2 messages, which doesn't even make sense. Token usage is not correct either. I downgraded claude code to 1.0.88 and did /context again, went from 159k tokens to 54k tokens which sounds about right. Something is very wrong with the latest version of Claude Code. It's practically unusable with this bug.

I used these commands to downgrade and got back to a stable version of Claude Code, for anyone wondering:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/5969#issuecomment-3251208715

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/[email protected]
claude config set -g autoUpdates disabled

And you can set the model back to Sonnet 4.5 by doing
/model claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929

Edit: apparently setting autoUpdates to disabled does nothing now, check the github link to turn autoupdate off

iirc yesterday claude code updated from 1.0.44 to 1.0.45 and today, running the same update command, it decides to 'update' from 1.0.45 to 1.0.44

hope am not hallucinating..

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to quickly report that Claude Code is running perfectly again for me! Had some issues with it over the past few days/weeks, but after updating normally today, everything is working as it should.

Anthropic announced today that they've fixed various bugs, and I can confirm - it's definitely noticeable. The performance is back and commands are executing correctly.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

• Did you also have problems with Claude Code recently?

• Is it working better for you after the update?

• What specific improvements have you noticed?

Curious to hear about your experiences!

I know Claude Code has taken a lot of heat over the past months — people calling it inconsistent, saying the models were underwhelming, that it wasn’t delivering on its promises. Honestly, I agreed with some of that frustration.

But here’s the thing: it’s different now. The latest updates have turned it into something seriously impressive. The responses are sharper, more reliable, and it actually feels like the tool we all wanted it to be from the start.

I’ve been using it since the release 4.5, and it honestly feels like we’re back in the golden days of Claude Code. Fast, consistent, genuinely helpful — it’s like the old spark is alive again.

If you gave up on it before, I’d say now is the perfect time to take another look.

Version 1.0.52:

• Added support for MCP server instructions

Version 1.0.53:

• Updated @-mention file truncation from 100 lines to 2000 lines

• Add helper script settings for AWS token refresh: awsAuthRefresh (for foreground operations like aws sso login) and awsCredentialExport (for background operation with STS like response).

Version 1.0.54:

• Hooks: Added UserPromptSubmit hook and the current working directory to hook inputs

• Custom slash commands: Added argument-hint to frontmatter

• Windows: OAuth uses port 45454 and properly constructs browser URL

• Windows: mode switching now uses alt + m, and plan mode renders properly

• Shell: Switch to in-memory shell snapshot to file-related errors

I am particularly excited bout the @-mention buff and the new hook!

This week we shipped Claude Code Web and /sandbox, added support for plugins and skills into the Claude Agent SDK and updated some of our UI for prompts and planning.

Features:
- Claude Code Web
- Sandbox
- Edit Plan Mode using ctrl+g
- New UI for permission prompts + plan
- Added current branch filtering and search to session resume screen for easier navigation
- Added plugin & skills support to the Claude Agent SDK

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where project-level skills were not loading when --setting-sources 'project' was specified
- Fixed a bug where custom tools were timing out after 30 seconds in the Claude Agent SDK
- Fixed a bug where directory @-mention causing "No assistant message found" error

Is it just me? I just opened a new Claude Code session and boom!. New UI. I don't know if its because of the VS Code extension or sth. But yeah. It's a bit buggy (see that local-command-stdout> thing), but yeah.

Real jumpscare. I don't yet know how i feel about it. I guess I'll just use it and see if i prefer the old one. I see no way of switching back, so this new UI better slap.

Line 5 seems like a pretty big deal to me. Any reports of how it works and how Code performs in general after the past few releases?
