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.

Repeated Tool Validation Failure Hint

When the model calls a tool with invalid JSON input multiple times in a row, Claude Code now injects a reminder into the next turn that includes the tool's full JSON Schema. This gives the model concrete structural guidance instead of just repeating a generic error.

Text injected: "This call has now failed validation N times in a row. The <tool> tool's input schema is: <schema>. Match the parameter names and types exactly on the next attempt."

Validation failure counter (search for "This call has now failed validation") — Bfi() at line ~172918

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