Claude Code Gets /simplify, /batch Commands, Auto-Save Memory, and HTTP Hooks
February 2026 brings new slash commands, smarter memory handling, HTTP hooks, and shared project configs across git worktrees to Claude Code.
February's Claude Code Changelog
Claude Code received significant updates throughout February 2026, adding new commands, improving memory management, and introducing HTTP hooks.
New Commands
/simplify — Reviews changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency, then automatically fixes issues found. A one-command code quality pass.
/batch — Run multiple operations across files simultaneously. Enables batch processing workflows that previously required scripting.
/copy — Interactive picker for code blocks. When code blocks are present, lets you select individual blocks or the full response for clipboard copy.
Memory Improvements
- Auto-save memory — Claude automatically remembers important context from your sessions
- Multi-agent memory handling — Better memory coordination when using agent teams
- Shared across worktrees — Project configs and auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
HTTP Hooks
A major addition for teams: HTTP hooks can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON back instead of running a shell command. This enables integration with external services, dashboards, and notification systems.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache (unbounded growth in long sessions)
- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache
- Improved
/modelcommand to show currently active model in the menu - Enhanced VSCode session stability
Opt-Out Option
Added ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false environment variable to opt out of claude.ai MCP servers.
