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.

A short reminder can be spliced in after a batch of tool results

Conversation Notable not in their notes

A short reminder can be slipped in after tool results, set by an environment variable or server config.

Per-model reminder text comes from CLAUDE_CODE_TOASTY_THIMBLE or server config; with neither set nothing is inserted.

CLAUDE_CODE_TOASTY_THIMBLE
What

After a run of tool results, a short reminder text can be inserted into the conversation, chosen by matching the model you are using against a list of model name patterns. The text comes from the CLAUDE_CODE_TOASTY_THIMBLE environment variable, or from server-supplied config; with neither, nothing is inserted.

Details
  • Pattern matching tries an exact model name, then the base model, then the longest wildcard pattern, then a catch-all *.
  • Malformed config is logged once and ignored.
  • It fires at most once per model per conversation, and is reported with the model, where the text came from, and its length.
