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.

Claude Code v2.1.221

Background-session prompt rewritten around committing and a final report

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal0
Sessions

Background jobs now commit and push when possible and end with an actionable report instead of always opening a draft PR.

CLAUDE.md
What

The background job system prompt drops the "shipping is part of the task" framing and the mandatory draft PR.

Details
  • says to commit before finishing and to push if there is a remote
  • defers to user or CLAUDE.md instructions that reserve git
  • the draft PR is now conditional rather than required
  • adds a closing instruction to end with an actionable report, with a carve-out for subagents
Evidence

End the job with a report the user can act on: what you did, where it lives

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