Claude Code 2.1.139 (May 2026): new agent view + /goal command

Anthropic’s Claude Code 2.1.139 release adds two headline workflow features — a new agent view and a new /goal command — plus a wide set of improvements across plugins, hooks, MCP, and reliability.

Agent view (Research Preview)

The changelog says Claude Code now includes an agent view (Research Preview) that shows a single list of Claude Code sessions (running, blocked on you, or completed).

• Command: run claude agents to open the view.
• Anthropic links to a dedicated doc page for details.

/goal command (keep working until a completion condition)

Anthropic says the new /goal command lets you set a completion condition, and Claude Code keeps working across turns until the goal is met.

• Works in interactive mode, -p, and Remote Control.
• Displays an overlay with live elapsed time, turns, and tokens.

Other notable changes (selected)

From the 2.1.139 release notes, a few developer-relevant updates worth noting:

• MCP: stdio MCP servers now receive CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR in their environment; /mcp reconnect now picks up .mcp.json edits without a restart.
• Hooks: new args: string[] exec-form field to spawn commands directly (no shell), and continueOnBlock to feed hook rejection reasons back to Claude and continue.
• Plugins: richer plugin details (including projected per-session token cost) and reliability improvements around plugin install/update.
