Thinking is hidden in plain non-interactive output

What

A run that is not interactive and produces text output, or json output without --verbose, now omits thinking from the output entirely. Interactive runs still show summarised thinking.

Details
  • Derived from --output-format and --verbose; there is no separate flag.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up --verbose, on Plugins reference. This table lists the options most runs use. Run `claude plugin eval --help` for the complete set, including `--case`, `--tag`, `--output-dir`, `--report`, `--allow-real-servers`, `--keep-temp`, and `--verbose`. plugins-reference see the edit
