CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_PREFIX_STAGGER_MS
A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.229, including the newest one read.
What it is
Parallel workflow agents stagger their first call to share cache; tune with an env var.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.229.
Presence across releases
| Releases | Reading | Declared type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases | never mined | — | — |
| 2.1.229 – 2.1.243 14 releases | in the build | int | — |
A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the environment variable does. All environment variables.
