Claude Code 2.1.6 is out. 25 CLI, 3 flag, and 1 prompt changes. Details in thread ↓

Claude Code CLI 2.1.6 changelog: • Added search functionality to `/config` command for quickly filtering settings • Added Updates section to `/doctor` showing auto-update channel and available npm versions (stable/latest) • Added date range filtering to `/stats` command - press `r` to cycle between Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and All time • Added automatic discovery of skills from nested `.claude/skills` directories when working with files in subdirectories • Added `context_window.used_percentage` and `context_window.remaining_percentage` fields to status line input for easier context window display • Added an error display when the editor fails during Ctrl+G • Fixed permission bypass via shell line continuation that could allow blocked commands to execute • Fixed false "File has been unexpectedly modified" errors when file watchers touch files without changing content • Fixed text styling (bold, colors) getting progressively misaligned in multi-line responses • Fixed the feedback panel closing unexpectedly when typing 'n' in the description field • Fixed rate limit warning appearing at low usage after weekly reset (now requires 70% usage) • Fixed rate limit options menu incorrectly auto-opening when resuming a previous session • Fixed numpad keys outputting escape sequences instead of characters in Kitty keyboard protocol terminals • Fixed Option+Return not inserting newlines in Kitty keyboard protocol terminals • Fixed corrupted config backup files accumulating in the home directory (now only one backup is created per config file) • Fixed `mcp list` and `mcp get` commands leaving orphaned MCP server processes • Fixed visual artifacts in ink2 mode when nodes become hidden via `display:none` • Improved the external CLAUDE.md imports approval dialog to show which files are being imported and from where • Improved the `/tasks` dialog to go directly to task details when there's only one background task running • Improved @ autocomplete with icons for different suggestion types and single-line formatting • Updated "Help improve Claude" setting fetch to refresh OAuth and retry when it fails due to a stale OAuth token • Changed task notification display to cap at 3 lines with overflow summary when multiple background tasks complete simultaneously • Changed terminal title to "Claude Code" on startup for better window identification • Removed ability to @-mention MCP servers to enable/disable - use `/mcp enable ` instead • [VSCode] Fixed usage indicator not updating after manual compact Source: #216" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/anthropics/cla…

@ClaudeCodeLog "Fixed the feedback panel closing unexpectedly when typing 'n' in the description field", that was one weird bug I reported 😀

@ClaudeCodeLog I wish they'd fix the issue where I am presented with a menu of options to tackle, numerically listed, AND a numerical "how am I doing" prompt. I am constantly giving unintentional feedback.

@ClaudeCodeLog For the 1 prompt change in Claude Code 2.1.6, we extracted the updated system prompt parts + token counts here: github.com/Piebald-AI/cla…

@ClaudeCodeLog Missing "Opensourced Claude Code to support a rich coding agent ecosystem"

@ClaudeCodeLog If /doctor now shows channel + versions, that'll save drift hunts. allowedPrompts should make ExitPlanMode less noisy.

@ClaudeCodeLog cli changes always sneak up on me. last time i missed one, my scripts staged a tiny rebellion. off to read the thread before they unionize.

@ClaudeCodeLog - allow referencing folders - allow indexing and scraping of documentation for later usage please.

@ClaudeCodeLog You need to revert back. Suddenly claude CLI is creating all these junk temp files all over the place. UGHHH!!!
