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 Turns out I was running an outdated version.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
Update CLAUDE.md with /init like command
Anthropic fixed their auto-update system for Claude Code

» npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-code
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.
