Tip: Claude Code 2.1.160 — grep/egrep/fgrep Now Satisfies Read-Before-Edit Check
Claude Code Changelog·medium signal
A quality-of-life improvement in 2.1.160: the Edit tool no longer requires a separate Read call after viewing a file with grep. Single-file grep, egrep, and fgrep commands now satisfy the read-before-edit prerequisite. This eliminates the common friction of 'Read tool not called' errors when you've already seen the file contents via grep, shaving a round-trip from the most common edit workflow.
