Anthropic Enhances Claude Code with Autonomy-Focused Upgrades
Anthropic has rolled out substantial updates to its Claude Code platform, targeting increased autonomy for developers. The upgrades include a native VS Code extension for real-time IDE integration, terminal interface refinements, and checkpoint functionality for complex task management.
The VS Code beta extension introduces a dedicated sidebar, bridging the gap between CLI and graphical development environments. Terminal improvements focus on usability enhancements like searchable prompt history and status visibility. Meanwhile, the rebranded Claude Agent SDK now supports subagents and hooks, enabling more sophisticated workflow customizations.
