Anthropic adds five effort levels and 500 skills to Claude Managed Agents

thione · x · 2026-07-27

Anthropic expanded Claude Managed Agents with five effort levels, up to 500 skills per session, seed events, and lifecycle webhooks.

This is a fairly concrete agent-platform update: developers can now tune how hard the agent should try, give it a much larger skill set per session, and hook into lifecycle events for orchestration and monitoring. The feature set points directly at production agent workflows rather than consumer chat.
