Use /goal when a session needs to keep working until a defined condition is met; fast mode is opt-in now and becomes the default on Thursday.
Users report Claude Design consumed 63%-77% of weekly limits after an app and a deck. Fresh export posts also show HTML and JSX handoff into Claude Code, but the Claude look still remains visible.
Creators spent the first full day using Claude Design for landing pages, brand kits, and slide layouts, with exports into Claude Code. Reports say it works well for wireframes and iteration but can burn quota quickly and still struggles with precise layout and brand cleanup.
Fresh HN discussion and creator posts say Opus 4.7's tokenizer change, xhigh defaults, and adaptive thinking can make sessions costlier or harder to steer. Users also report normal workflows triggering safety refusals or burning large chunks of monthly limits in a single project.
Anthropic launched Claude Design in research preview to turn chats, files, and screenshots into prototypes, slides, and one-pagers. Early users praised design-system matching and code export, but hit high token and rate limits.
Users posted WOZCODE, a Claude Code plugin that swaps in smarter file and search tools, and reported 54% lower cost, 68% fewer turns, and faster completion on the same Opus 4.7 task. The benchmark is community-run, but it includes install steps and repeatable commands.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 with adaptive thinking, xhigh effort, and new Claude Code controls including auto mode, recaps, and ultrareview. The update also changes token use, adds a tokenizer update, and fixes rate limits for longer coding and creative sessions.
