What
/remote-control (alias /rc) makes a session available for Remote Control from claude.ai.
The command can now be blocked by managed settings, which are settings an organisation pushes to its users. When that applies, the command check returns managed_disabled.
The status message shown while /remote-control is active no longer carries an upgradeNudge, so the upgrade prompt is gone from it.
The tip saying you can also drive this session from claude.ai/code or the mobile app now sits behind a remote switch, tengu_maple_rung. Nothing has been read about whether that switch is on.
Why
Enterprise admins can now turn off Remote Control for their users. Some users may also see one less upgrade prompt, and the follow-on tip may not appear for everyone.
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 sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /remote-control, on Claude Code changelog.* Fixed `/remote-control` showing a session as available after a failed connectionchangelogsee the edit
