Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.234

Turn-update instruction now asks for a standalone closing recap

Turn Updates

Progress updates now end with a short recap of what was found, done and what comes next.

What

The optional instruction that shapes progress updates during a turn used to say the final message should stand on its own for a reader catching up. It now asks for a short recap naming what was found, what was done and what is next, so the last message alone tells the whole story.

Details
  • Active only when the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_TURN_UPDATES is set, or when the model capability for turn updates arrives with the session's client data.
