Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick tip that saved me a lot of headaches. I was getting super frustrated with my Claude CLI vesion 1.0.0 constantly throwing "Invalid tool argument" errors and getting stuck in loops. Turns out I was running an outdated version.
After updating to the latest version (1.0.18), it's like night and day - feels way smarter and more responsive.
The Anthropic team seems to be pushing fixes and improvements constantly.
So friendly reminder: take a minute to update your CLI.
npm install -g /claude-code@latest
You can check your current version with:
claude --version
Current version is 1.0.18
claude code 'updates' from version 1.0.45 to 1.0.44
Official: Anthropic released Claude code 2.0.73 with 9 CLI changes,details below
Official: Anthropic just released Claude Code 2.0.70 with 13 CLI changes, details below.
