Claude Code shifts to Bash, bypassing native tools

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user observed that Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, has shifted from using its native tools to relying heavily on Bash commands for tasks like searching and editing files. This change occurred despite the installation of a TypeScript LSP plugin designed to improve code navigation. The user found that native tools like Grep and Glob were not being utilized, with Bash commands such as `sed` and `perl` being employed instead, even for operations that Claude Code's built-in tools could handle. This behavior appears to be influenced by a fixed set of Bash commands that run without permission prompts, and a recent changelog indicates a deliberate removal of native Grep and Glob in favor of Bash-based replacements, which may be a regression.

    Claude Code stopped using its own tools

    <p>A week ago I installed the TypeScript LSP plugin for Claude Code. The pitch sold me. The agent works the way I do in an editor, navigating with go-to-definition and find-references instead of grepping around, and catching type errors as it writes instead of at the end of a tas…
