Claude Code Topic: Content Change History

The claude-code topic in knowctl-topics tracks 57 documentation pages scraped from code.claude.com/docs/en/. Created 2026-02-20, with 5 subsequent commits over ~22 hours. Of those, 3 contain meaningful content changes, 1 was pure frontmatter noise, and 1 was housekeeping.

The changelog file (code.claude.com-docs-en-changelog.md) is a raw GitHub HTML page. Its diffs consist entirely of rotating CSRF tokens and asset hashes -- excluded from all change sets below.

Commit: d41ab834 | Date: 2026-02-21 07:38 EST

Change Set 5: Worktree Hooks, CLI Agents Command, Environment Variables

Commit: 43a92670 | Date: 2026-02-21 13:38 EST | 9 files with real changes

cli-reference

  • New command: claude agents -- "List all configured subagents, grouped by source"

common-workflows

Two new subsections:

  • Subagent worktrees -- Subagents can use worktree isolation to work in parallel. Configure isolation: worktree in custom subagent frontmatter. Auto-cleanup on finish.
  • Non-git version control -- Worktree isolation works with git by default. For SVN, Perforce, Mercurial, etc., configure WorktreeCreate and WorktreeRemove hooks.

hooks-guide + hooks (major additions)

  • Two new hook events: WorktreeCreate (replaces default git worktree behavior for non-git VCS, must print path to stdout) and WorktreeRemove (cleanup counterpart, fires on session exit or subagent finish)
  • Matcher table: added ConfigChange row with configuration source matchers
  • New section: WorktreeCreate -- Full documentation with SVN checkout example, input schema, output requirements
  • New section: WorktreeRemove -- Cleanup documentation with jq -r .worktree_path | xargs rm -rf example
  • Hook type support reorganized into two clear lists (events supporting all types vs command-only)
  • Agent hooks (type: "agent") documented alongside prompt hooks

model-config

  • Removed default model tier table; replaced with anchor link to #default-model-setting
  • Example model: "Sonnet 4.5" -> "Sonnet 4.6"
  • New: "To disable 1M context entirely, set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1"

settings

  • New environment variable: CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT -- "Set to 1 to disable 1M context window support. Useful for enterprise environments with compliance requirements"
  • Variables reordered alphabetically

sub-agents

  • New: "To list all configured subagents from the command line, run claude agents. Shows agents grouped by source and indicates which are overridden."
