Claude Code now features a comprehensive onboarding flow for first-time users:

  • Interactive setup screens guide you through initial configuration
  • Theme selection to personalize your experience from the start
  • Security awareness with explicit information about Claude's capabilities
  • Terminal optimization with specific key binding recommendations for your terminal

When you first run Claude Code v1.0.70, you'll be greeted with setup screens that help configure:

  • Visual theme preferences
  • OAuth login or API key authentication
  • Terminal-specific settings (e.g., Option+Enter for new lines in Apple Terminal)

Enhanced Security Model#

  • Explicit permission dialogs for MCP servers and hooks
  • Trust management for code execution permissions
  • API key validation with user confirmation for custom ANTHROPIC_API_KEY usage
  • Clear security notes displayed during onboarding about Claude's file system access

  • 66.3% structural similarity to v1.0.69 (significant reorganization)
  • 2,889 functions removed and 2,257 new functions added
  • Complete removal of Sentry telemetry and error tracking for improved privacy
  • Reduced external dependencies and cleaner module structure

All Sentry integration has been removed, including:

  • Error tracking and reporting

  • Stream operations (createReadStream, createWriteStream)
  • Path handling for both POSIX and Windows systems

Terminal Integration#

  • Automatic detection and optimization for different terminal emulators
  • Custom key binding recommendations based on your terminal
  • Improved handling of iTerm2 settings restoration

Authentication Flow#

  • Clearer distinction between Claude AI subscription and Console API billing
  • Better handling of custom API keys with validation
  • Streamlined OAuth login process

Export Structure#

The main module now exports three functions:

  • showSetupScreens - Displays the onboarding flow
  • setup - Main initialization function
  • completeOnboarding - Marks onboarding as complete

Code Organization#

  • Significant module restructuring for better maintainability
  • Removed monitoring and instrumentation code
  • Simplified export structure

Anthropic’s official release notes

Published verbatim by Anthropic for v1.0.70. Text is unmodified from the upstream changelog. Everything else on this page came out of the bundle instead, which is why the two lists don't match.

  • Performance: Optimized message rendering for better performance with large contexts
  • Windows: Fixed native file search, ripgrep, and subagent functionality
  • Added support for @-mentions in slash command arguments
System prompt

The system prompt was not captured for this release, so this page cannot say whether it moved.
