Projects prompt: how to read an owner reply that carries no marker

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal4
Projects

The Projects prompt now explains how much authority an unmarked relayed owner reply carries.

What

The system prompt for Claude Code Projects gained a block on the one relayed owner reply that arrives without a marker, shown as an assistant entry starting with "Coordinator session's message". It sets out how much such a reply authorises.

Details
  • A bare reply approves only the single action and target named in the coordinator message it answers, nothing broader.
  • A question offering a list of options proposes nothing and is not an approval.
  • The prompt's User Intent Rule 6, which lets specificity carry forward past a block, applies neither to marked timeline messages nor to these unmarked replies.
Evidence

Coordinator session's message

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