Claude Code v2.1.312 ·

The system prompt is now assembled in a new way, with no visible text change from it

Claude Code rebuilt how it assembles its system prompt and can record each section's choice, but the prompt text itself is unchanged by it

What

The system prompt is the set of instructions Claude Code sends to the model at the start of a conversation. The code that assembles it was rewritten. It now works out a set of facts and decisions first, records which choice it made for each section, and can replay those recorded choices later. If a section it decided to include ends up missing, it stops with an error.

The remote switches that turn sections on and off are read the same way as before, through the new structure. This rewrite does not change the prompt text on its own. Separately, the description of the AskUserQuestion tool changed wording in a capture taken under this release; it now warns that the user may see only the question dialog.

Why

In practice nothing in the prompt changes from this. The ability to record and replay section choices points to later work on reproducing a prompt exactly.
