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.

Remote and cloud session creation carries an effort level

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal3
Cloud Sessions

Your chosen effort level now travels with remote and cloud sessions, when the model supports it.

What

Creating a remote session or cloud task now sends an effort_level alongside the model, so the chosen effort applies to the work that runs remotely. A helper checks whether the effort value is meaningful for the selected model and omits it when it is not.

Details
  • The CLI create path supplies the effort value plus a resolved permission mode fallback for teleport.
  • Creation telemetry records the value as create_effort_level / effortLevel.
  • The GitHub source descriptor used for remote work gained a pinned flag.

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