Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

No official entry

Not individually listed upstream

v0.2.81 does not have its own entry in Anthropic’s official changelog, because prerelease builds are often folded into a neighbouring release. Browse the full changelog for the closest official notes. Everything else on this page came out of the bundle instead, which is why the two lists don't match.

System prompt

The system prompt was not captured for this release, so this page cannot say whether it moved.
