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.

Output style is attached only when the style actually loads

Output Styles

A broken output style is no longer attached to your conversation as if it had loaded.

What

A non-default output style was previously attached to the conversation using the name written in config, even if the style definition failed to load. Now nothing is attached when the load fails, and when it succeeds the attachment carries the loaded style's own name rather than the config string.

Evidence

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