It’s been a big week for Claude Code.

We launched 8 exciting new features to help devs build faster and smarter.

Here's a roundup of everything we released: Image
1/ Extended thinking

Ask Claude Code to “think” to trigger extended thinking, powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Great for larger tasks that require planning, like refactors.

2/ Vim mode

Use the slash command /vim to active insert/command modes for editing prompts.

3/ Custom slash commands

Create your own custom workflows (like “triage GitHub issues”) by adding files to .claude/commands/.

4/ Improved tool use latency

Common operations (including Git operations) are much snappier now.
5/ Auto-accept mode

Use Shift+Tab to switch on this mode, where Claude creates changes without stopping to ask permission at each step.

6/ Autocomplete for filepaths

Hit Tab while typing and Claude Code will suggest files/filepaths matching your input.

7/ Auto-compact for context management

Claude Code automatically compacts conversation history while preserving important information, so you can work on longer problems without worrying about context limits.
8/ Web fetch

Paste a URL into Claude Code, and it will pull the content from that webpage as context.

Super handy to not context switch as much between Claude Code and a browser.

That wraps up our week of Claude Code updates. All features are available now, just restart to make sure you’re on the latest version.

And to download Claude Code, run: `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`

Another batch of features for Claude Code!

Up first: Vim mode. This gives you the familiar insert/command modes for editing your prompts in Claude Code. Turn it on by typing the slash command /vim.

But that's not all: Image
Custom slash commands. You can create personalized workflows that can be invoked anytime as slash commands.

Make them by adding Markdown files to your .claude/commands/ or ~/.claude/commands/ directories. The contents of those files will become new commands. Image
You can build commands for common workflows like "triage GitHub issues," "spellcheck the code," and "query Sentry logs then bisect to a git commit."

Think of them as saved workflows for tasks you want to run more often.

We've just shipped a new feature in Claude Code: extended thinking. You can simply ask Claude to “think”, “think more”, or “think harder” and it’ll show its extended thinking process.

This is all powered by our hybrid reasoning model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Image
Best practice: First tell Claude about your task and let it gather context from your project. Then, ask it to “think” to create a plan.

Claude will think more based on the words you use. For example, “think hard” will trigger more extended thinking than saying “think” alone. Image
I'll be sharing more new features for Claude Code over the coming weeks.

Let me know what else you’d like to see us build!
