Claude can be nudged to check in when it has gone quiet for several turns, off by default.
A silent-turn reminder is present but needs CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER or a model that declares support, and none here does.
What's wrong with this entry?
When Claude works for several turns without saying anything to you, a hidden reminder can be added to the conversation: "The user hasn't heard from you in a while. As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell". It is off unless CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER is set or the model in use declares support for it, and no model in this build does, so by default nobody sees it.
- The turn threshold comes from
CLAUDE_CODE_SILENT_TURN_REMINDER_TURNS, otherwise a remote setting with a fallback of 5 turns. The value must be at least 1. - At most 3 reminders are sent per quiet stretch.
- The reminder type is now registered across the attachment renderer, the reminder-kind list and the transcript, and has its own telemetry event.
- Whether a model declares the capability comes from server-supplied data, so it can be switched on remotely without a new release.
The user hasn't heard from you in a while. As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell, "batching_reminder_sent",, "The user hasn't heard from you in a while. As you continue, keep them updated when there's something to tell \u2014 a finding, a change of plan.", The user hasn't heard from you in a while.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
