alt Hacker NewsEdit ~/.claude/settings.json and add "effortLevel": "medium". Alternatively, you can put it in .claude/settings.json in a project if you want to try it out first.
They recommend this in the announcement[1], but the way they suggest doing it is via a bogus /effort command that doesn't exist. See [2] for full details about thinking effort. It also recommends a bogus way to change effort by using the arrow keys when selecting a model, so don't use that either.

Pathetic how they have no support for modifying sampling settings, or even a "logit_bias" so I can ban my claude from using the EM dash (and regular dash), semicolons, or "not". Also will upweight things like exclamation points
Clearly those whose job it is to "monitor" folks use this as their "tell" if someone AI generated something. That's why every major LLM has this particular slop profile. It's infuriating.
I wrote a long winded rant about this bullshit

You can do it via /model and pressing left and right though
