What’s New

Claude Opus 4.6 Now Available

Users can now access the latest Claude Opus 4.6 model, bringing enhanced capabilities and performance improvements to your coding workflows.

Experimental Agent Teams (Preview)

The most exciting addition is the research preview of agent teams functionality, enabling multi-agent collaboration scenarios. This token-intensive feature requires setting the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 to enable.

Automatic Memory Recording

Claude now automatically records and recalls memories as it works, creating a more persistent and context-aware coding experience across sessions.

Enhanced Conversation Management

  • New “Summarize from here” option in the message selector allows for partial conversation summarization
  • Updated --resume functionality now re-uses the --agent value from previous conversations by default

Skills System Improvements

  • Skills defined in .claude/skills/ within additional directories (specified via --add-dir) now load automatically
  • Skill character budget now scales dynamically with context window size (2% of context), allowing users with larger context windows to see more complete skill descriptions

Bug Fixes and Polish

  • Fixed @ file completion showing incorrect relative paths when running from subdirectories
  • Resolved Bash tool “Bad substitution” errors when heredocs contain JavaScript template literals like ${index + 1}
  • Fixed Thai/Lao spacing vowels rendering issues in the input field
  • VSCode extension improvements: fixed slash command execution issues and added loading spinners for conversation lists
