What
The effort level controls how much work Claude puts into a response. The status label for the ultracode effort level now reads "ultracode · xhigh + workflows · /effort". It replaces "ultracode · xhigh effort + dynamic workflows for maximum thoroughness".
Why
The change is cosmetic, but the label now names /effort, the command you use to change the effort level.
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.

* **Effort level**: when you set the [effort level](/docs/en/model-config#adjust-effort-level) from a connected device, with `/effort` or the device's effort control, Claude Code applies it to the session on your machine. If you pinned a l…remote-control see the edit

With ultracode on, Claude decides when a task warrants a workflow. A single request can turn into several workflows in a row: one to understand the code, one to make the change, and one to verify it. This applies to every task in the sessi…workflows see the edit
