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.

/diff now tells you when the diff panel can't be opened instead of silently doing nothing.

/diff
What

Running /diff when the diff sidebar cannot be opened now prints a message instead of appearing to do nothing.

Details
  • Availability is checked first; the message is "The diff panel isn't available right now — run /diff again to see your changes".
  • The existing "not a git repo" message is still checked, after the availability check.
Evidence

The diff panel isn’t available right now — run /diff again to see your changes

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