A new onboarding tip introduces the /focus command to users who haven't set a view mode.
Claude Code now shows a new onboarding tip, "Use /focus to see just your prompt, a one-line summary of the work, and the response," to users who haven't set the viewMode setting themselves and for whom the other tip-relevance checks pass. The /focus command toggles a focus view showing only your last prompt, a one-line tool-call summary with edit diffstats, and the final response, and the choice persists across sessions.
This surfaces the /focus command to users who might not know about it, without showing it to people who've already made a deliberate choice about their view mode.
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.

Anthropic's documentation has since written up viewMode, on CLI reference.
