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.

Coordinator Mode

Coordinator sessions are told skills only load for them, never execute.

The instruction text is present; where it enters a prompt is decided at runtime.

What

New instruction text tells a coordinator session that when it uses the Skill tool, the skill is only loaded and not run: no forking, no permission grants, no hooks and no preamble shell commands. Execution happens in worker sessions instead. The text is present in this build; where it is included in a prompt is decided at runtime.

Evidence

no fork, no permission grants, no hooks, no preamble shell commands

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