ClaudeKit — Claude Code tools, guides, updates

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.141

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Added `terminalSequence` to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal, `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, `ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID` for workload identity federation, and `claude agents --cwd ` to scope sessions to a directory. `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days), and the Rewind menu adds "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context. Bug fixes span background side-queries sending an unavailable Haiku model ID on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway, Remote Control MCP connectors failing with 401 during worker token rotation, `claude plugin install` failing on stale marketplace refs, MCP HTTP/SSE 403s being shown as `failed` instead of `needs auth`, and a wide sweep of auth, session, MCP, plugin, and UI regressions.

[Skill] Google Skills

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Agent Skills for Google products and technologies — maintained by Google. The repo ships 13 skills: 7 foundational (Gemini API, AlloyDB, BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Firebase, GKE basics), 3 recipes (Google Cloud onboarding, auth, network observability), and 3 Well-Architected Framework skills (security, reliability, cost optimization), so Claude Code pulls in Google Cloud guidance automatically when those topics come up.

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.140

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Agent tool `subagent_type` matching now accepts case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. "Code Reviewer" resolves to `code-reviewer`), and plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. `commands/`) is silently ignored because `plugin.json` sets the matching key. Bug fixes cover `/goal` silently hanging under `disableAllHooks` / `allowManagedHooksOnly`, a settings hot-reload regression on symlinked files, `claude --bg` connection drops at idle-exit, remote managed settings not retrying on 401, the managed `extraKnownMarketplaces` auto-update policy not being persisted, `Read` tool validation on whitespace-padded `offset` strings, and a Windows event-loop stall caused by missing executables.

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.139

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Adds the agent view (Research Preview) for tracking every Claude Code session in one place, and a `/goal` command that keeps Claude working across turns until a completion condition is met. Hooks gain an exec form (`args: string[]`) and a `PostToolUse` `continueOnBlock` option, MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR`, and `/mcp` Reconnect picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart. Note: Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled whenever `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even alongside a Claude.ai login.

[Update] Agent view in Claude Code

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Agent view is a centralized interface inside the Claude Code CLI for managing multiple concurrent agent sessions. Now in Research Preview, it lets developers see which agents need input, are actively working, or have completed tasks — and scale up background work via peek, `/bg`, and `claude --bg`.

[Update] Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.136

Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Session quality survey is re-enabled for OTEL enterprises via `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY_FOR_OTEL`, and `settings.autoMode.hard_deny` lets classifier rules block actions unconditionally. WSL2 image paste now falls back to PowerShell when xclip/wl-paste are unavailable. Plus a wide round of fixes — MCP servers disappearing after `/clear`, login loops from concurrent OAuth token writes, and plan mode failing to block writes when an `Edit(...)` allow rule matched.

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.132

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

`CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` is now exposed to Bash subprocesses, and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1` lets you opt out of the fullscreen renderer. Plus a wide round of stability fixes — graceful shutdown on external SIGINT, blank fullscreen after sleep/wake, 10GB+ RSS growth from stdio MCP servers, scroll regressions in Cursor/VS Code/JetBrains terminals, and Bedrock/Vertex 400s when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set.

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.133

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A new `worktree.baseRef` setting (`fresh` | `head`) lets you choose whether worktrees branch from `origin/` or local `HEAD`, and hooks and Bash commands can now read the active effort level via `$CLAUDE_EFFORT`. Plus fixes for a refresh-token race that dead-ended parallel sessions at 401, MCP OAuth ignoring `HTTP(S)_PROXY`/mTLS across discovery and token refresh, and subagents failing to discover project, user, or plugin skills.

[Update] Claude Code 2.1.129

Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

`--plugin-url` loads a `.zip` plugin straight from a URL, and Homebrew/WinGet installs can self-upgrade in the background. Ctrl+R history is back to searching all projects by default, and Gateway `/v1/models` discovery is now opt-in via env var. Plus fixes for 1-hour prompt cache TTL silently downgrading, OAuth logouts after wake-from-sleep, and `/context` wasting ~1.6k tokens per call.

A Moody's MCP app brings proprietary credit ratings and data on 600M+ companies, and 17 data partners are integrated alongside.

[Update] Claude for Microsoft 365 — Excel, PowerPoint, and Word now GA, Outlook joins in beta

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Claude add-ins for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are generally available on all paid plans, and Claude for Outlook joins in public beta.
