Computer use goes GA on the Claude Platform
Four capabilities left beta at once: computer use, the browser tool, the Skills API and the Files API. Anthropic pitches the last two as the building blocks of Claude Managed Agents.
• With computer_toolset_20260801 Claude clicks, types and screenshots several times per turn instead of one action per round trip. Early-access customers saw 20–40% fewer round trips per task. • browser_toolset_20260801 hands Claude the page structure, so it acts on element references plus coordinates instead of pixels that break when the layout shifts. • The Skills API uploads a team procedure once, versions it, and pins each request to a version_id or latest. • The Files API adds expires_in_seconds, 5x higher rate limits at 500 RPM, and 1 TB per org.
Docs for both new toolsets are up on the Claude Platform.

v2.1.238
Plugin marketplaces in Claude Code 2.1.238 can mint their own auth: headersHelper runs a command that issues a short-lived token for catalog fetches, and on a catalog entry it runs only when you install or update.
