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.

Prompts carry an ID through billing attribution and request metadata

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Usage & Limits

Each prompt now carries its own id so usage can be attributed prompt by prompt.

What

Each user message now gets its own prompt identifier, sent as a cc_prompt_id segment in the billing attribution header and in request metadata, so usage can be attributed to individual prompts.

Details
  • Added to the attribution header only for first-party authentication, and only when the value matches a UUID shape.
  • Removed again when transcripts are exported or serialised, so it does not appear in saved conversation files.
Evidence

cc_prompt_id

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