Nearest release: v2.1.284, published under an hour before upstream edited the page. Shown because the two are within 24 hours of each other. Nothing here says the release caused the edit.
Upstream edited this page at 28 Sep 2026 17:53 UTC, give or take a minute or two: the time comes from Anthropic’s own sitemap rather than from a commit. This site recorded the change at 28 Sep 2026 23:37 UTC.

1717Work through this checklist before the announcement goes out. Each item closes a gap that otherwise turns into a launch-day support thread.

19| Item | Why it matters |
20| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
21| `#claude-code` channel created and linked in the message | Gives questions one place to land |
22| Install command tested on at least one machine in your environment | Catches proxy or firewall issues before everyone hits them at once |
23| Security and data-handling link ready ([Data usage](/docs/en/data-usage) or your internal equivalent) | "Where does my code go?" will be the first reply |
24| One concrete first task chosen, a real bug or file in your codebase | Generic examples don't convert; "fix the flaky test in `auth_test.go`" does |
25| A named owner for the channel for the first 48 hours | Unanswered launch-day questions kill momentum |
26| A C-suite sponsor lined up to send or co-sign the announcement | Exec-sent launches consistently see higher first-week adoption than admin-sent ones |

226| Model | Best for |
227| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
228| Fable | The hardest, longest-running tasks. Opt-in only: select it with `/model fable`. Cybersecurity or biology content triggers [automatic model fallback to Opus](/docs/en/model-config#automatic-model-fallback) |
229| Opus | Large-scale refactors, complex debugging, architecture decisions, high-stakes changes. On Opus 5.5 and Opus 5, cybersecurity or biology content triggers [automatic model fallback or a refusal](/docs/en/model-config#automatic-model-fallback) |
230| Sonnet | Everyday feature work, bug fixes, tests, documentation, code review. Recommended default. On Sonnet 5.5, cybersecurity or biology content triggers [automatic model fallback or a refusal](/docs/en/model-config#automatic-model-fallback) |
231| Haiku | Quick questions, formatting, mechanical edits, rapid iteration |

503| Question | Response |
504| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
505| "Does it work in VS Code?" | Yes. There is a VS Code extension and a JetBrains plugin with the same features, embedded in your editor. [VS Code →](/docs/en/vs-code) |
506| "Do I have to configure anything first?" | No. Install, then run `claude` in any repo. Run `/init` once and you're set. [Quickstart →](/docs/en/quickstart) |
507| "Where does my code go?" | The CLI runs in your terminal and sends context to Anthropic's API for inference, with no third-party servers. Under your Enterprise plan, your code and prompts are not used to train models. [Data usage →](/docs/en/data-usage) |
508| "Can it see my whole repo?" | It reads what you give it access to. File reads inside your working directory don't prompt; permission prompts gate edits, non-read-only shell commands, and file-tool reads outside that directory. A built-in set of read-only shell commands such as `ls` and `cat` runs without prompting; restrict it with [sandbox `denyRead` rules](/docs/en/sandboxing#filesystem-isolation). [Permissions →](/docs/en/permissions) |
509| "How is this different from Copilot?" | Copilot autocompletes lines. Claude Code is an agent that reads files, runs commands, and makes multi-file edits. [Overview →](/docs/en/overview) |
510| "What should I try first?" | A bug you've been putting off because it's tedious. "The test in \[file] is flaky, figure out why." [Quickstart →](/docs/en/quickstart) |

516| Task | Prompt |
517| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
518| Fix a bug | "the tests in \[file] are failing, figure out why and fix it" |
519| Understand code | "walk me through how \[module] works, then tell me where the entry point is" |
520| Safe refactor | "refactor \[module] to \[goal], use plan mode so I can review first" |
521| Write tests | "write tests for \[file] that cover the edge cases around \[scenario]" |
522| Review before commit | "look at my working diff and tell me what looks risky" |
523| Open a PR | "fix \[issue], write a conventional commit, and open a PR with a summary" |
524| Make a skill | "make me a /ship skill that runs tests and lint before commit" |
525| Debug a stack trace | "here's the stack trace, find the root cause, don't just paper over it" |
