anthropics/claude-code v2.1.292

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

Key points

  • 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 workflow agents to the agent.spawn mod hook, with their run and index, so a mod can refuse them
  • Fixed claude plugin commands such as marketplace add and install running before an organization's managed settings had loaded on a first run
