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.

/statusLine setup handles shell prompts more carefully

/statusLine setup cleans trailing prompt characters and asks you when it finds no shell prompt.

/statusLine
What

The instructions used when setting up a custom status line now say to strip trailing $ or > characters when importing your shell prompt, and to ask you what you want if no shell prompt is found and you gave no instructions.

Evidence

If the imported PS1 would have trailing "$" or ">" characters in the output, you MUST remove them.

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