  • Profile your API spend from the CLI

    New `/claude-api cost-optimize` profiles an existing project's Claude API spend, then works the cost levers — caching, token hygiene, batching, effort, and model choice — one measured change at a time. A guided path to a smaller bill instead of guesswork.

  • Claude drafts the bug report for you

    The new `SendFeedback` tool kicks in when a session goes sideways: Claude drafts a feedback report you review and send from `/feedback`. Turn it off with the `feedbackDrafts` setting.

  • Admin API lands in the /claude-api skill

    The `/claude-api` skill now covers the Admin API — organization members, invites, workspaces, API keys, rate-limit reports, workload identity federation, and CMEK. You can script org administration straight from the terminal.

  • One keystroke to auto mode

    Bash permission prompts now carry a tip pointing at auto mode with a one-key "Yes, and switch to auto mode" option, and organizations can rotate their own spinner tips via `tipsFile` and priorities. Small changes, but they touch every approval.

  • Elsewhere: Vercel opens Python routing

    Vercel added header configuration and request rewrites for Flask, Django, and FastAPI apps and moved its Security Dashboard to GA — more control over how Python backends route on the platform.
