    Boris from the team here -- I don't think this is right. If you are able to repro in the Desktop app, could you comment back? I cannot repro.

    Boris from the team here. The classifier is free — we do not charge for safety features as a principle.

    For those using Claude Code, I recommend Learning mode to instruct Claude to walk you through implementing the solution yourself rather than doing it for you. It’s very helpful whe…

    Yes, it also helps! That's a place where raw model capability is the most helpful, but we do find that some dynamic workflow configurations can be helpful too.

    There's two main differences: 1. Support for 1-2 OOMs more agents, to do more work in parallel 2. A phased, semi-structured approach where work happens in steps

    We generally build features into the Claude Agent SDK, which is shared by CLI, Desktop, VSCode, and cloud.

    Hey, yep. A few things I personally used dynamic workflows for over the last few weeks: 1. Autonomously landed 20+ optimizations to reduce Claude Code's token usage by ~15% 2. Port…

    A few of us from the Claude Code team will be hanging around if anyone has questions! Very excited for this launch -- dynamic workflows have been a game changer for engineering her…

    Totally. You can do that now, and Claude will know to use /code-review.

    Comment #48297046

    Yep, you can add free-form input. Will update /simplify to only check for code quality and not bugs (the way it used to work), that's a good suggestion.

    /code-review has a specific prompt that we've found is a good balance of precision, recall, and cost. You could totally roll your own prompt also.

    Hey, Boris from the CC team here. I agree, we're working on consolidating these. Going forward it will just be the built-in /code-review skill. Here's how to use the skill on the l…

    We anticipated the default would be the best option for most people. We were wrong, so we reverted the default.

    Comment #47883735

    Yep, agree. We added a little "/clear to save XXX tokens" notice in the bottom right, and will keep iterating on this. Thanks for being an early user!

    Hey, Boris from the team here. We did both -- we did a number of UI iterations (eg. improving thinking loading states, making it more clear how many tokens are being downloaded, et…

    Hey, Boris from the Claude Code team here. Normally, when you have a conversation with Claude Code, if your convo has N messages, then (N-1) messages hit prompt cache -- everything…
