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 proactivity overlay sits beside the help overlay

Not switched on

Proactivity

The input box can show a proactivity overlay, but nothing puts it into that state.

A proactivity overlay mode exists beside help with no visible trigger.

What

The prompt input tracks an overlay mode that can now be "help" or "proactivity". While the proactivity overlay is up it takes over Escape handling and can be dismissed the same way help is. Nothing in this build shows what puts the input into that state.

Details
  • The two modes are handled identically for escape and dismissal, so the surface is wired up even without a way to reach it.
Evidence

"proactivity"

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