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.

Enterprise Managed Settings Helper

What

Organizations can now configure an admin-controlled helper executable that computes managed settings at startup.

Usage
{
  "policyHelper": {
    "path": "/usr/local/bin/claude-policy-helper",
    "timeoutMs": 5000,
    "refreshIntervalMs": 60000
  }
}
Details
  • The helper is honored only from admin-controlled policy sources.
  • It can return managedSettings, claudeMd, and appendSystemPrompt.
  • Claude Code validates the helper path, rejects non-absolute paths, and can refresh the helper output periodically.
  • If refresh fails, Claude Code retains the current policy instead of dropping managed settings.
Evidence

Managed settings helper schema and runtime execution (search for "policyHelper" and "Executable that computes managed settings at startup. Honored only from admin-controlled policy sources.")

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