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:

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.
