Ecosystem Impact
Plugins/Skills has appeared in 6 of the last 10 releases with growing item counts — a sustained extensibility push alongside the maturing claude agents system. Chrome makes its first appearance as agents gain browser-extension awareness.

Changes in Claude Code v2.1.142

Added1 change

  • •Added new claude agents flags: --add-dir, --settings, --mcp-config, --plugin-dir, --permission-mode, --model, --effort, and --dangerously-skip-permissions to configure dispatched background sessions

Improved2 changes

  • •Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
  • •Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for SessionStart/Setup/SubagentStart now shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error

Fixed16 changes

  • •Fixed MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT not raising the per-request fetch timeout for remote HTTP and SSE MCP servers, which capped tool calls at 60 seconds regardless of the configured value
  • •Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
  • •Fixed background sessions disappearing and daemon reconnect failing after macOS sleep/wake — the daemon now detects clock jumps instead of treating them as elapsed idle time
  • •Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. brew upgrade), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
  • •Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
  • •Fixed clicking links in an attached claude agents session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
  • •Fixed claude agents "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's $EDITOR/$VISUAL
  • •Fixed claude agents deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
  • •Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a claude agents session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
  • •Fixed claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions not persisting across retire/wake
  • •Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
  • •Fixed redundant set_model requests from remote clients injecting duplicate /model breadcrumbs into the transcript
  • •Fixed plugins using skills: ["./"] showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
  • •Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
  • •Fixed /plugin browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
  • •Fixed plugin advisories not naming every plugin.json key that shadows a default folder

Removed1 change

  • •Removed stale /model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages

Other4 changes

  • •Fast mode now uses Opus 4.7 by default (previously Opus 4.6). Set CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE=1 to pin fast mode to Opus 4.6
  • •Plugins with a root-level SKILL.md and no skills/ subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
  • •The /plugin details pane and claude plugin details now show LSP servers a plugin provides
  • •/web-setup warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
