Claude Report — 2026-07-09

🚀 Anthropic Official

Claude Code v2.1.205

Ships Jul 8 with a broad fix/feature batch: blocks auto mode from tampering with session transcript files, makes /doctor a full setup checkup (aliased /checkup), fixes Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree via NTFS junctions, fixes --json-schema silently producing unstructured output on invalid schemas, makes auto mode ask before running rm -rf on an unresolved variable, cuts auto-updater peak memory by roughly 400MB via disk-streamed downloads, and reserves the "Claude Browser" MCP server name ahead of a Claude Desktop pane rename.

Claude Agent SDK Python v0.2.114 and TypeScript v0.3.205

Both ship Jul 8, tracking Claude Code v2.1.205. Python is a pure parity bump; TypeScript adds a still_queued field to interrupt-control responses, a typed receipt from Query.interrupt(), an interrupt_receipt_v1 capability flag, and structured name/body fields on peer-message session events.

The Making of Claude Code

Publishes Jul 6 as a feature piece tracing Claude Code's evolution from an internal CLI tool to Anthropic's flagship coding agent.

Government of Alberta uses Claude to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities

Details Jul 6 how Alberta's government deploys Claude across its systems to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities.

🔌 Claude Code Plugins

Top-10 install-ranked plugin cache is unavailable again this cycle; items below come from general search and continuity with prior reports, not verified install rankings.

claude-helm

Ships four more releases (v2.13.0 Jul 8 through v2.16.0 Jul 9), adding test-scanning features and refactoring branch-creation logic.

toolshed (doc-lifecycle plugin)

Merges PRs #38-41 on Jul 8 (0.9.0 → 0.9.1): pins the marketplace via local checkout instead of a URL ref, adds version-agnostic pins with workflow-file fallback, ships a deterministic no-model-call version-bump lane, and grants actions:read to fix a CI 403.

compact-plus

Ships v1.0.4 (Jul 8), fixing the session-ID acquisition path so the /compact-plus skill works on marketplace-only installs, plus documentation corrections.

Unchanged in window: claude-mem, claude-hot-limit (repository unverifiable this cycle), claude-code-hooks-daemon.

🛠️ Skills

alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Piebald-AI/claude-code-system-prompts

Logs the v2.1.205 system-prompt diff (Jul 8, +23,674 tokens), the largest single-release jump tracked so far.

agentskillexchange/skills

iiTzSenn/Sens

Jumps from v0.2.0 to four new releases in two days — v0.4.0 and v0.5.0 (Jul 8), v0.6.0 and v0.7.0 (Jul 9) — shipping modular working-rule init, a shareable dashboard with QR codes, and a redesigned terminal UI.

shlokkhemani/rabbithole

Runs six build phases across Jul 8-9: converts its frontend to real ES modules, extracts a pure core module, stands up a browser-only web host with a BYOK IndexedDB store, adds PDF/URL/arXiv web ingestion, and ships a Pages deploy separating the marketing site from the app.

DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp

Extends its security-hardening batch into provenance work on Jul 8-9: merges SLSA build attestations (PR #970) and a "coverage-not-indexed" feature reporting deliberately-ignored files as a by-design coverage class (PR #974).

Unchanged in window: modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk (last release Jul 2), modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk (last release Jun 30).

💡 Community — Workflows & Ideas

pilotfish

New multi-tier delegation layer (created Jul 8, 212 stars) has a frontier model (Fable 5) plan and verify via role-based policy files while cheaper models execute subagent work, catching errors with fresh-context verification instead of trusting one big model end to end.

ditto

New tool (created Jul 8, 49 stars) mines local Claude Code/Codex/Cursor logs, redacts secrets, splits the corpus across multiple agents that independently extract behavioral patterns, and ranks traits by cross-agent consensus into a you.md profile read before every future task.

skill-extractor

New tool (created Jul 7, 8 stars) extracts reusable skills from agent transcripts with "outcome-weighted scoring," discounting techniques from failed sessions while still counting guardrails learned from failure.

cc-vision-hook

New hook toolkit (created Jul 8, 7 stars) routes pasted images to an external vision model via the Vercel AI SDK and injects text descriptions as additionalContext for vision-blind Claude models, with content-hash caching.

premium-router

New Claude Code skill pattern (created Jul 8, 8 stars) has Fable 5 handle judgment/classification design while Haiku 4.5 workers execute at volume, claiming roughly 10x lower cost on large corpora.
