# Claude Code 2.1.292 By Steven Van · 2026-10-06 The update adds one-step marketplace plugin installs, sub-agent effort controls and new mod hooks. Plugins can now be installed from a marketplace in one step in [Claude Code]() 2.1.292. The new --marketplace option adds the marketplace if needed, applies the same policy checks as claude plugin marketplace add, then installs the plugin from it. ## Sub-agent effort and retry timing The Agent tool now accepts an effort parameter, letting Claude run a sub-agent at the requested effort level. A new CLAUDE\_CODE\_OVERLOADED\_RETRY\_BASE\_DELAY\_MS environment variable lets users set a longer base delay for retry backoff after an overloaded (529) request. ## New hooks and caching for mods - The prompt.autocomplete event lets a mod add its own rows to the prompt box's autocomplete list. - For $.model.complete, prompt and system now accept blocks of text. Setting cache: true on a block caches the request up to that block. - The agent.spawn hook now includes workflow agents, with their run and index, so a mod can refuse them. ## Permission and sandbox fixes The release fixes sub-agent definitions with permissionMode: auto entering auto mode when it is unavailable because of settings, a circuit breaker or an unsupported model. It also fixes sandboxed commands being able to read staged copies of /ultrareview uploads under ~/.claude/seed-admin. These changes are listed in the [official changelog](). ![Claude Code]() Claude Code Anthropic's agentic coding tool — Claude in your terminal, IDE, desktop app and browser, reading and editing your codebase, running commands, opening pull requests and working on tasks in the cloud.
