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.

Cloud sessions inherit more of your local configuration

Cloud Sessions

Cloud sessions now carry over your system prompt, fallback model, spending cap and allowed tools.

What

Starting a cloud session now forwards your custom system prompt, the text appended to subagent system prompts, your fallback model, your spending cap when it is above zero, and your allowed-tools list. Disallowed tools are sent as the full set rather than one legacy entry.

Details
  • Each field is sent only when set locally.
  • The create path also carries the initial prompt when it is withheld and a home-directory seed.
Evidence

append_subagent_system_prompt

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