Claude can be told you only see a few lines of command output, so it should repeat what matters.
A Bash output audience reminder is registered and injected after qualifying results, but nothing is added unless explicitly switched on.
What's wrong with this entry?
Claude Code can attach a reminder to Bash tool results telling the model that you only see a few lines of the command output in your terminal, so anything you need must be repeated in its reply. It is registered as its own reminder kind, bash_output_audience_note, injected as a system reminder after qualifying Bash results, and nothing is added unless it is explicitly switched on.
- The exact text is "Only you see that command's output — the user's terminal shows at most a few lines of it. If the user needs to read any of it, put it in your reply."
- Only emitted for Bash-style tool results whose
stdoutis a string; other results are untouched. - The gate checks the environment variable
CLAUDE_CODE_BASH_OUTPUT_AUDIENCE_NOTEfirst, then a model capability check, then a client-supplied data flag of the same name,bash_output_audience_note; with none of them set the helper returns false and no note is attached. - Run
CLAUDE_CODE_BASH_OUTPUT_AUDIENCE_NOTE=1 claudeto turn it on locally. - Because it sits in the reminder-accounting list with the existing reminder types, it draws on the same per-conversation reminder budget rather than being injected unconditionally.

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