Manage every Claude Code session from one screen with agent view, keep Claude working toward a goal until a condition holds, and run fast mode on Opus 4.7 by default.

Releases v2.1.139 → v2.1.1423 features · May 11–15

Agent viewresearch preview

claude agents opens one screen for every Claude Code session: what's running, what's blocked on your input, and what's done. Dispatch a bug fix, a pull request review, and a flaky-test investigation as three rows, keep working in another window, and step in only when a row needs you. Attach to any row to drop into its full conversation, then press ← to return to the list. Each background session keeps running without a terminal attached.

Agent view

/goalv2.1.139

Set a completion condition and Claude keeps working toward it across turns without you prompting each step. After every turn, a fast model checks whether the condition holds; if not, Claude starts another turn instead of handing control back. Useful for substantial work with a verifiable end state, like migrating a module until every call site compiles and tests pass. The goal clears once the condition is met, and works in interactive, -p, and Remote Control.

Set a goal and let Claude run until it holds:

Fast mode on Opus 4.7research preview

/fast now runs on Opus 4.7 by default instead of Opus 4.6. Fast mode is a high-speed Opus configuration: the same model quality at about 2.5x the speed for a higher per-token cost, useful for rapid iteration and live debugging. Pricing is unchanged at \$30/\$150 per MTok, the same as Opus 4.6 fast mode. To pin fast mode to Opus 4.6, set CLAUDE\_CODE\_OPUS\_4\_6\_FAST\_MODE\_OVERRIDE=1.
