Anthropic has introduced a new "safe mode" feature for Claude Code, accessible via a `--safe-mode` flag or the `CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE` environment variable. This mode disables user-added customizations such as plugins, skills, and custom commands, allowing users to isolate configuration issues. By comparing behavior in safe mode versus normal operation, users can identify problematic settings that may be causing Claude Code to malfunction. AI
IMPACT Simplifies troubleshooting for users of Claude Code, potentially improving developer workflow.
