A new open-source plugin brings the multi-agent stock analysis framework TradingAgents to Claude Code, eliminating the need for separate API keys. The plugin spawns seven subagents—covering technical, news, fundamentals, and macro analysis, followed by a bull/bear/risk debate, then a research manager, trader, and portfolio manager—all running on the user's existing Claude subscription [per Hacker News]. Users can install it via /plugin install trading-agents-plugin.

Boris Cherny, Anthropic's Claude Code lead, posted a post-mortem on April 23 detailing three compounding bugs across six weeks: a reasoning-effort default lowered from high to medium on March 4 (reverted April 7), a caching bug on March 26 that cleared reasoning history every turn (fixed April 10), and a verbosity constraint on April 16 that caused a 3% coding-eval score drop (reverted April 20) [per devto_claudecode]. The tweet announcing "50+ stability and performance fixes" drew 3.3k likes and 606k views. Multiple power users, including Jeff Huang and Aran Komatsuzaki, have publicly switched to DeepSeek V4 or Codex Pro in response.

Claude Code and Claude Cowork now feature 'computer use' capabilities, enabling direct control of macOS desktops via mouse and keyboard [per devto_claudecode]. Available as a research preview for Pro and Max subscribers, the AI can execute multi-step workflows across applications—opening files, browsing the web, and running developer tools—without requiring API integrations. It uses a vision-action loop: taking screenshots, analyzing visible content, and deciding next actions. A permission-first approach requires user approval for significant actions, though Anthropic warns against sensitive data use due to prompt injection risks.
