claude code not thinking
I noticed Claude Code was no longer omitting any thinking transcript, and thinking was completely missing from the jsonl transcript (which you can check using tools like simonw/claude-code-transcripts.
Turns out Claude was still thinking just fine, but by default, the thinking is no longer returned from the API. Add "showThinkingSummaries": true to ~/.claude/settings.json to get them back. Source.
P.S. use /effort max in every session ;)
