Claude Code v2.1.287 adds Claude Mods, "You Should Know" side-agent, and MCP 2025-11-25 URL prompts
cliClaude Code 2.1.287 introduces Claude Mods (plugins can modify deeper behavior), a new opt-in "You Should Know" side-agent plugin that flags things you or Claude might miss, an `n:<text>` filter in the agents view, support for URL prompts from MCP servers on the 2025-11-25 protocol (e.g. sign-in flows), `prompt_text` added to OpenTelemetry events, plus dozens of fixes across MCP, hooks, SDK streaming, Bedrock/Vertex, and screen reader mode.
An agent can now be audited by an opt-in "You Should Know" side-agent, handle MCP server URL prompts (e.g. OAuth sign-in) on the 2025-11-25 protocol, and ship deeper behavior modifications via Claude Mods plugins.
Notable: MCP protocol 2025-11-25 URL prompt support (requires `bareElicitationCapability: true` in MCP config for compat) and Claude Mods deepen the plugin surface. Lots of SDK/hook streaming fixes relevant to agent authors.
