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.

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

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.
