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.

Memory Notable not in their notes

Two environment variables can point Claude Code at a memory service with a token.

CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_BASE_URL and CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_TOKEN replace an empty stub.

What

Two environment variables, CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_BASE_URL and CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_TOKEN, now appear where an empty stub previously sat, pointing a memory service at a URL with a token. Separately, a new array enumerates the credential hook settings apiKeyHelper, awsAuthRefresh, awsCredentialExport and gcpAuthRefresh.

Evidence

["CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_BASE_URL", "CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_TOKEN"]

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