Which of the 12 tracked Claude Code failure clusters are most likely hitting you right now?
What this is. Over six weeks (mid-April to end of May 2026), 12 structural failure clusters surfaced in the public anthropics/claude-code issue tracker — 11,820+ reactions across 400+ open issues. None has an official upstream fix yet. Operator-side defenses cover nine of the twelve at the symptom level.
What this diagnostic does. Seven multi-select questions about your Claude Code setup map to specific clusters. The result lists the clusters most likely affecting your workflow, with concrete hook installs and reading material per cluster.
Three minutes. Local-only. No tracking.
1. Which Claude Code surfaces do you use regularly?
Select all that apply.

Codex, Cursor, Amp, Aider, GitHub Copilot, etc. Select all that apply.
3. Do you manage multiple Claude accounts on the same machine?
For example, a personal account and a work account. Or two Pro Max subscriptions across teams.
4. Have you hit any of these in the last 30 days?
Select all that apply.
5. Do you actively use sub-agents (Task tool spawns)?
For research, parallel work, or code review delegation.
6. Has a permission rule in settings.json ever surprised you?
For example, an allow rule that didn't match, a deny that was bypassed, or a session-approval persisting unexpectedly.
7. Do you use Claude Skills?
The ~/.claude/skills/ or project .claude/skills/ directories.
Each card below is a cluster you are likely exposed to based on your answers, ordered by probability. Cards highlighted red are higher-probability for your setup; yellow are moderate; green are lower-priority background risks.

Each issue covers one cluster in depth (12,000–20,000 characters), with operator-side defenses, evidence links, and checklist updates. Subscribing in May means the May issue is in your hands now and the June issue (5 clusters, 25,000+ characters) lands June 1.
