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 single store now owns chat input state

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal1
Prompt Input

One store now owns everything about your chat input, notifying listeners only on real changes.

What

A new class holds the prompt value, cursor offset, mode, pasted content, stashed prompt, ownership of the escape key and vim state, and submit subscriptions, notifying listeners only when a fixed list of keys actually changes.

Details
  • It tracks whether the value was changed from outside the editor, and debounces a "typing" flag on a scheduled timeout.
  • Stash and pop restore the prompt including a launch warning that was showing at the time.
  • Submitting a chat message now reads the text from this store rather than a ref.
