Claude Code now reads `CLAUDE_CODE_YOU_SHOULD_KNOW_AUTO_SEND`. It is checked in one place, together with something stored for the session, and it sits beside an existing `CLAUDE_CODE_YOU_SHOULD_KNOW_DEBUG` variable.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt looks like an opt-in switch for sending something automatically, and has no effect unless you set it.\n\n- Area: Environment Variables\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
