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.

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
