Claude Code v2.1.280 ·

Inline pastes now flow through more of the message pipeline

Pasted text that stays inline in a message (inline_pastes) is now read, threaded through, and exposed to the Task tool and bridge messages.

What

  • The message-ingestion step that processes attachments now reads and passes through a new inline_pastes field on incoming user messages, alongside the existing pasted_content field (used when the host extracts pasted text out of the message instead of leaving it inline).
  • The Task tool's input schema now accepts inline_pastes, a list of pasted-text entries that stay in place inside the message content.
  • The internal message parser and the peer/bridge message poster now also read and forward inline_pastes, along with a from_plugin field, and messages get tagged with plugin when their origin is known.

Why

This lets pasted text that intentionally stays inline (as opposed to being pulled out into a separate attachment) survive consistently across the input pipeline, the Task tool, and remote/bridge sessions instead of being dropped or only partly supported.

What the documentation says
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.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up inline_pastes, on Agent SDK reference - TypeScript. Set `inline_pastes` to tell Claude Code which parts of `message.content` the user pasted rather than typed, one string per paste. The prompt text stays where the user put it. Claude Code may wrap each listed paste in `<pasted_content>` tag… agent-sdk/typescript see the edit
