Claude Code v2.1.105+: Skills budget controls and hooks clarity #299

Description

@claude-yolo

🚀 New Features in Claude Code v2.1.105+

Key improvements from the latest docs update:

Skills Budget Management

  • maxSkillDescriptionChars: Per-skill character limit (default: 1536)
  • skillListingBudgetFraction: Context budget fraction for skills (default: 1%)
  • Smart overflow handling - least-used skills get truncated first
  • /doctor command shows truncation status

Hooks Execution Clarity

  • Clarified parallel execution vs sequential result combination
  • Added concrete example: logging + guardrail pattern
  • Better documentation of multi-hook behavior

WHY this matters: Users can now fine-tune context usage with skills and understand security workflows better.
