This episode breaks down Claude Code v2.1.218’s new context: fork behavior, which runs custom skills asynchronously so you can keep coding while background analysis finishes. It also covers workspace trust protections, MCP diagnostics, cleaner agent naming, and a new prompt safeguard against accidental history wipes.
