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.

Artifact type instructions are treated as untrusted text

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal3
Artifacts

Instructions bundled with an artifact type are wrapped as untrusted text that cannot widen permissions.

What

Instructions that come with an Artifact type are now wrapped in a preamble and a trailing warning saying they cannot grant permissions or widen the task, since anyone who can publish to the Artifact could have written them.

Details
  • Two preambles exist: one for a trusted Artifact type and one for the case where the instructions could have come from any publisher.
  • The trailing warning rules out fetching or publishing elsewhere, putting local files or credentials into the Artifact, and editing permission settings, CLAUDE.md or config on the instructions' say-so.
  • Always applied as part of assembling the Artifact system prompt.
