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 Turns out I was running an outdated version.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 CLI 2.0.73 changelog:

• Added clickable [Image #N] links that open attached images in the default viewer.

• Added search filtering to the plugin discover screen (type to filter by name, description, or marketplace).

• Added support for custom session IDs when forking sessions with --session-id combined with --resume or --continue and --fork-session

• Fixed slow input history cycling and race condition that could overwrite text after message submission.

• Improved /theme command to open theme picker directly.

• Improved theme picker UI.

• Improved search UX across resume session, permissions, and plugins screens with a unified SearchBox component.

• [VSCode] Added tab icon badges showing pending permissions (blue) and unread completions (orange).

Claude Code CLI 2.0.71 changelog:

• Added /config toggle to enable/disable prompt suggestions.

• Added /settings as an alias for the /config command.

• Fixed @ file reference suggestions incorrectly triggering when cursor is in the middle of a path.

• Fixed MCP servers from .mcp.json not loading when using --dangerously-skip-permissions

• Fixed permission rules incorrectly rejecting valid bash commands containing shell glob patterns (e.g., ls *.txt, for f in *.png).

• Bedrock: Environment variable ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_BASE_URL is now respected for token counting and inference profile listing.

• New syntax highlighting engine for native build.

Prompt Changes:

1: Claude gains an AskUserQuestion tool for in-flow clarification and decision points. Prompt now nudges Claude to ask questions as needed, format questions with 2–4 options ("Other" auto), support multiSelect, mark recommended options, and avoid time estimates when presenting plans/options.

2: Claude’s git safety rules now heavily restrict git commit --amend: allowed only if explicitly requested or to include hook auto-edits, AND only if HEAD was authored by Claude in-session and not pushed. If a hook rejects/fails a commit, Claude must fix issues and create a NEW commit.

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?

Is there a way to subscribe to Claude Code updates via RSS or a webhook? I found this website, but it doesn't seem to offer anything.
