/ Claude Code v2.1.198

Node.js 22 Required: This release raises the minimum Node.js version from 18 to 22. Run node --version to check; upgrade via your package manager or [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) before updating Claude Code. Any existing install scripts or CI environments pinned to Node 18 or 20 will need to be updated.

/agents wizard gone: Workflows relying on the interactive /agents menu (Create agent, Edit agent, Delete agent) no longer exist. Transition to asking Claude directly: "create a code-reviewer subagent that..." or edit .claude/agents/*.md files manually.

As of v2.1.198, running /agents prints a reminder to ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or to edit .claude/agents/ or ~/.claude/agents/ directly. On v2.1.197 and earlier, opens an interactive interface for creating and managing subagent configurations

Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.198 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Removed the /agents wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit .claude/agents/ directly

Is this right?
