Diff pane stops surprising you, sales plugin goes 9 to 36 skills

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Anthropic · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

The diff mod stops doing git work nobody asked for at session start, and two marketplace shuffles move small-business out of the official marketplace while sales and small-business plugins both grow to dozens of skills.

diff: run git when the built-in panel would, never at the session's start anthropics/claude-code

by poteat

The mod used to pin the repository inside its session.start hook with one git rev-parse and a full git status --porcelain -z --untracked-files=all, both awaited, and the engine holds the first prompt until that hook settles, so every session's first turn waited on the walk, up to the 5 s git timeout, even when the pane never opened. Git now runs when the built-in panel's would: one rev-parse at...

diff: the first edit opens the pane only where the layout docks it anthropics/claude-code

by poteat

On main screen with CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=0 nothing docks, so a terminal of 144 columns or wider got an unasked dialog opened inline above the prompt on the first successful edit, and the next /diff dismissed it instead of showing the diff. The pane now opens only where the layout actually docks it beside the transcript.

feat(sales): rebuild sales plugin as 2.0.0 with 36 skills anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins

by jsires

The sales plugin is rebuilt at 2.0.0, from 9 skills to 36, working across CRMs, email, calendar and chat providers or from uploaded files. The plugin name, author and the 9 existing skill names are unchanged, so current installs update in place; .mcp.json gains Gong, Zoom, Otter.ai, Calendly, Lusha, Crunchbase and a Google Drive placeholder without touching existing servers.

Remove small-business plugin anthropics/claude-plugins-official

by tobin

The small-business entry is removed from the official marketplace in the same window that the knowledge-work-plugins repo updates the small-business plugin to 44 skills across finance, sales, marketing, customers, operations and hiring for the Claude for Small Business launch. Anyone installing from the official marketplace by name loses that entry, even though the plugin name, marketplace entr...

access_policies: document and validate the file_path identifier anthropics/financial-services

by mihilmy

Admins can now write access_policies rules matching the open document's path, which covers files that can't carry a sensitivity label, such as those on a network share. The manifest builder accepts file_path with equals and startsWith instead of warning it as an unknown identifier type, and flags it when used on uploaded_file, where it can never match.

Add Slack and Sentry Managed Agents quickstarts anthropics/claude-quickstarts

by cj-ant

Two runnable Managed Agents apps land under managed-agents/: a stateless Bun webhook bridge that turns an @mention into an agent session and posts the reply in-thread off the session.status_idled webhook, and a Sentry triage agent on a cron deployment with no host process whose token lives in a vault and is substituted at egress only for sentry.io, us.sentry.io and de.sentry.io. Informatica's i...
