Description

When typing the ultracode keyword at the start of a chat message in the Agent View (FleetView, opened with claude agents), the keyword is not highlighted in purple/violet in the input field. In the regular terminal prompt, the highlight appears as expected (feature introduced in v2.1.160) and confirms that ultracode multi-agent orchestration mode will activate.

Without the highlight in Agent View, there is no visual confirmation of whether the ultracode mode will be activated for that session before pressing Enter.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run claude agents to open the Agent View (FleetView).
  2. Start a chat with an agent / start typing a new prompt.
  3. Type ultracode at the start of the message.

Expected behavior

The ultracode keyword is highlighted in purple, as it is in the main terminal prompt, confirming the mode will activate.

Actual behavior

The keyword renders as plain text with no highlight, so it is unclear whether ultracode mode will be activated when the message is sent.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.220
  • Platform: Linux (WSL2, kernel 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2)
  • Surface: Agent View TUI (claude agents / FleetView)
  • The "Ultracode keyword trigger" setting is enabled (highlight works in the main prompt)
