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 v2.1.242

Project-level skill, command and agent folders may now be declined for watching

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Skills

Watching project skills, commands and agents folders can now be declined by a runtime check.

What

Watching of project-scoped skills, commands and agents directories for changes can now be refused. When a new boolean check holds and a context argument is present, Claude Code runs an asynchronous check against that context and watches only if it passes; otherwise it falls back to the previous behaviour of watching any directory that exists.

Details
  • User-level directories are unchanged and always watched.
  • What the new boolean check reads is not stated at the call site, so which projects get declined is decided elsewhere.
Evidence

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