What

The instructions Claude Code can give the model gain new text. Before, only text describing Claude Fable 5.1 was present.

  • A description saying the model is Claude Fable 5.2, the newest Claude 5 model.
  • A "Finishing work" section telling the model not to stop while work it still owes remains.
  • A "Memory, notes and feedback" section telling it to save only lasting, useful memories and not records of work already done.
Why

These instructions change when the model decides it is done and what it chooses to remember between sessions.
