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.

policyHelpers warnings now understand per-OS entries and say when yours has none.

policyHelpers
What

Warnings about the policyHelpers setting, which points Claude Code at external commands used to check policy, now understand per-OS entries and can tell you that policyHelpers is set but has no entry for the operating system you are on.

Details
  • The status warning is prefixed with the subject it complains about.
  • Over-long notices are truncated.
  • A related helper re-reads user settings from the settings backend and logs when it falls back to reading the file.
Evidence

policyHelpers is configured but has no entry for platform

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