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.

Removed Verbose Communication / Output Efficiency Prompt Section

The standalone "# Communicating with the user" prompt section (for Opus 4.6 users) and the "# Output efficiency" prompt section (for other users) were both removed from the system prompt assembly. Their guidance is now covered by the tighter communication style instructions and the new numeric length anchors.

Evidence

Both "Communicating with the user" and "Output efficiency" strings are absent from v2.1.100 (confirmed via search)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
