/design now disables preview/hub features (import, export, status, canvas skill) in local-agent sessions

What

The /design command now depends on a previewAndHub setting to decide which subcommands are reachable. Local-agent entrypoints explicitly run it with previewAndHub turned off, while the normal interactive path keeps it turned on. With it off, the import, export, and status subcommands, free-form design prompts, and the design canvas skill become unreachable, while consent and revoke (and types, if enabled) remain available.

Why

This limits the fuller Claude Design experience — the canvas, hub, and related import/export/status features — to normal interactive sessions, keeping local-agent sessions restricted to the more basic consent-related functionality.

To mock up a UI, a screen flow, a landing page, or a poster rather than build a page, run `/design` with a brief. Claude drafts the design as artboards on one canvas and publishes the canvas as a Design artifact. The brief names what you w… artifacts see the edit
Added since A small documentation edit on Claude apps gateway for Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry touched a line naming /design after this was published. | [`/design-sync`](/docs/en/commands#all-commands) and `/design-login` | Not available | Both need claude.ai, which the CLI doesn't contact on gateway sessions, so neither command appears there | claude-apps-gateway see the edit
