In May 2026, Anthropic unveiled Claude Code 2.1 at the "Code with Claude" event. The /goal command lets Claude work autonomously for hours or days until a defined completion condition is met. Agent View gives developers a unified dashboard to manage dozens of parallel sessions. This is the moment AI coding tools cross from "assistant" to "autonomous system."
On May 11, 2026, Anthropic shipped Claude Code v2.1.139. The two headline features are Agent View and the /goal command. Agent View is a dashboard that surfaces all your sessions in one list. /goal lets you declare a completion condition and Claude keeps iterating until it meets it. AI coding tools are crossing from "does what I say" to "reaches what I want."
