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.

Relayed user request outranks the computed task

Useful3 Signal3
Workflows

Your original words are passed through labelled and told to outrank whatever task the workflow computed.

What

When Claude Code runs a workflow on your behalf, your original request is now passed through indented and labelled, with a note telling the model it is the only actual user voice present and that it takes precedence over the task text the workflow computed.

Evidence

[Workflow harness — user request]

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