Claude Code 2.1.292: dial sub-agent effort, pin plugin marketplaces
A 100+-fix release adds prompt caching for mods and security patches, while Copilot and Gemini CLIs ship their own permission and trust fixes.

Dial effort per sub-agent
The Agent tool now takes an effort level, so you can fan out cheap sub-agents at low effort and save high effort for the one hard task — real control over cost and latency in multi-agent runs.
Install plugins from a chosen marketplace
claude plugin install --marketplace <source> pins exactly where a plugin resolves from, instead of guessing across your configured marketplaces. Cleaner, reproducible plugin setups.
Prompt caching lands for mod authors
$.model.complete now honors cache: true, so a mod that hits the model every turn can cache its stable prefix and cut the token bill on long sessions.
100+ fixes, including security patches
2.1.292 ships path-traversal and permission-bypass fixes plus Code Review period analytics with a per-repository breakdown. If you run Claude Code in CI or shared repos, update.
Your other agent CLIs moved too
Copilot CLI 1.0.93-3 now persists MCP configs across turns and adds permissions.limitTo for enterprise; Gemini CLI 0.65 nightly enforces read-only workspaces in untrusted folders.
