Claude Code v2.1.280 ·

Remote Control messaging about claude.ai projects gated behind a new flag

Text about starting Remote Control sessions from claude.ai projects or the mobile app is now gated by its own flag, tengu_bridge_rc_projects_hint.

What

  • The claude remote-control help/description text can now mention that claude.ai projects can ask Claude to work in the current directory, controlled by a gate that defaults to true in the in-bundle fallback.
  • The onboarding prompt shown before enabling Remote Control can now mention opening the Code tab in the Claude mobile app or asking Claude to work in the folder from claude.ai, shown only when this "projects hint" gate is on (otherwise a shorter fallback text is shown).
  • This "projects hint" behavior, previously gated by the flag tengu_cuddly_willow, now has its own dedicated flag, tengu_bridge_rc_projects_hint; tengu_cuddly_willow itself is now reused by a new helper that adds a check for settled flags before evaluating.

Why

This separates the projects-hint messaging from the older, differently-purposed tengu_cuddly_willow flag so it can be controlled independently.

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.

Added since A small documentation edit on Platforms and integrations touched a line naming claude remote-control after this was published. | [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) | Drive a running session from [claude.ai/code](https://claude.ai/code) or the Claude mobile app | Your machine (CLI, Desktop, or VS Code) | Run [`claude remote-control` or `/remote-control`](/do… platforms see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude remote-control, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed the Artifact tool missing from Remote Control sessions that `claude remote-control` starts for you to open from Claude Desktop, claude.ai or the mobile app changelog see the edit
