Claude Code v2.1.139 adds /goal and agent view.

Details

Claude Code v2.1.139 adds /goal, which lets you set a completion condition once so Claude keeps working, checking whether the condition is met at the end of every turn.

  • Goals operate per session and automatically clear once the condition is met.
  • You can stop with /goal clear, and typing /goal alone shows the number of turns elapsed and token usage.
  • It also works with non-interactive runs like claude -p and with Remote Control.
  • Evaluation uses a small, fast model that doesn't call tools, judging based only on what's visible in the conversation.
  • It's designed for verifiable stopping conditions such as passing tests, meeting acceptance criteria, splitting files, or clearing an issue backlog.

In the same version, agent view, opened with claude agents, was also released as a research preview.

  • It brings together background sessions that are running, waiting for input, or completed into a single screen.
  • You can distribute sessions, respond from the preview, and jump into the full conversation when needed.
  • Each session keeps running in the background, and each session consumes subscription quota separately.
  • This feature requires v2.1.139 or later and can be turned off with the admin setting disableAgentView.
