Claude Code v2.1.292

Claude Code v2.1.292 was released on October 6, 2026.

Summary

Claude Code 2.1.292 now lets you install plugins directly from marketplaces and control how hard sub-agents work on your tasks. We've also improved performance, security, and fixed several edge cases that could cause unexpected behavior. Check out the full release notes to see...

Release Notes

• Added --marketplace <source> to claude plugin install: adds the marketplace if needed, under the same policy checks as claude plugin marketplace add, then installs the plugin from it
• Added an effort parameter to the Agent tool, so Claude runs a sub-agent at the effort level you ask for
• Added CLAUDECODEOVERLOADEDRETRYBASEDELAYMS environment variable to set a longer base delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
• Added prompt.autocomplete, an event a mod hooks to add its own rows to the prompt box's autocomplete list
• Added prompt caching to $.model.complete for mods: prompt and system take blocks of text, and cache: true on a block caches the request up to it
• Added workflow agents to the agent.spawn mod hook, with their run and index, so a mod can refuse them
• Fixed subagent definitions with permissionMode: auto entering auto mode when auto mode is unavailable (disabled by settings, circuit breaker, or a model that doesn't support it)
• Fixed sandboxed commands being able to read the staged file copies of /ultrareview uploads under ~/.claude/seed-admin
• Fixed a managed sandbox read-deny path (and user ones beside it) that appears or re-points mid-session not dropping project grants inside it or ending credential injection from files it covers
• Fixed a notebook or PDF read on macOS and Windows being able to return a file outside what was approved, through a link swapped in mid-read
• Fixed a tampered on-disk cache of server-managed settings being able to switch off or unseat the built-in policy plugin while the settings fetch failed
• Fixed rm -rf on the 8.3 short name or another alternate Windows spelling of the home folder or a drive not being treated as removing it
• Security: Fixed PreToolUse hook approvals and auto mode bypassing the permission prompt for file reads from network (UNC) paths
• Fixed a skill's or slash command's allowed-tools rule coming back in a later turn when you leave auto mode or plan mode partway through that turn
• Fixed NOPROXY being ignored for Claude Code's own API requests (sign-in, policy, feedback, artifacts) when HTTPSPROXY is set
• Fixed an MCP tool with a name longer than 128 characters making every request fail; that tool is now left out and an MCP error names it
• Fixed claude plugin commands such as marketplace add and install running before an organi
