Unclear It's unclear whether the tengu_sage_compass2 gate plays any role in this check, since no reading of it has been taken.

What

A new internal tool/event kind called "advisor" has been introduced.

  • It can be disabled with an environment variable, and otherwise requires a first-party Anthropic account plus an internal entitlement check before it's available.
  • The availability check was refactored into a shared helper function, replacing inline checks that combined the disable env var, first-party account check, and entitlement check.
  • When you change the advisor model setting mid-conversation (from the /advisor UI or its slash command), Claude Code now shows a contextual note explaining when the new setting will actually take effect — for example, if the API already refused to use the advisor this turn, or if the conversation already locked in a different advisor model or tool declaration.

Why

This lays the groundwork for an advisor feature restricted to eligible accounts, and helps avoid confusion by telling you explicitly when a mid-conversation change to the advisor setting won't apply immediately.

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.
