The changelog shows --safe-mode (and CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE) boots with all CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, and MCP servers disabled for clean troubleshooting, while /cd moves a session to a new directory without nuking the prompt cache mid-session. disableBundledSkills hides built-in skills from the model. Two daily friction points, config bisection and cache-killing directory changes, got first-class fixes. If you run a customized setup, safe-mode alone will save you an afternoon next time something breaks.

If you've written Claude Code skills with context: fork in the frontmatter, go check them right now. As of the July 22 release, /code-review runs as a background subagent, and any skill declaring context: fork runs in the background by default (release notes). The opt-out is b...
A GitHub repo cataloging Claude Code tips doesn't normally warrant a top story. But shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice at 53.4K stars isn't a tips list anymore. It's the de facto reference for how an entire generation of developers is learning to work with AI coding agents...
On September 9, Anthropic added a mods/ folder to the public claude-code repo containing the full source of three plugins compiled into the binary: sec-default, diff and telemetry. 52 commits by September 13. None of it appears in the CHANGELOG, so the repo is running ahead of...
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.1 on September 1. Claude Code v2.1.257 made it the default Fable model at 17:53 UTC that day, with a 1M-token context window, $10 per million input tokens, $50 per million output, and $0.25 per million on cache reads (claude-code CHANGELOG). B...
Cursor 3 launched on April 2. Not an update. A full rebuild. The editor is now secondary to what they're calling an agent orchestration workspace. You can run unlimited parallel agents, locally or in the cloud, launch them from your phone or Slack or Linear, and manage them in...
Two things in one release, and only one of them is in the security section. CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL used to override the model for every subagent. In 2.1.251 it sets the default instead. An agent definition's model: frontmatter now wins, and so does an explicit per-spawn mo...
