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.

In brief mode Claude is told plainly that only send-tool output reaches you.

What

In brief mode the model is now told plainly that ordinary assistant text is hidden from you and only the send tool reaches you, and that it must not mention the reminder itself.

Evidence

In brief mode, plain assistant text is hidden from the user

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