Claude Code v2.1.186 ·

respondToBashCommands Setting

New FeaturesSection of the release

A new per-session setting controls whether Claude generates a response after an ! input-box bash command completes.

Details
  • Default: true — Claude responds after ! commands as before.
  • Set to false to silently add the command output to the conversation context without triggering a reply. Useful for quiet shell automation where you want to inject output but not spend tokens on a response.
  • Configurable in settings.json under the same schema as other session settings.
Evidence

New Zod field added to settings schema (search for "Whether Claude responds after an input-box ! bash command runs. Set to false to add the command output to context without a response.")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
