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.

Claude Code v2.1.36

Fast Mode System Prompt Context

The system prompt now includes <fast_mode_info> context explaining fast mode to Claude: > "Fast mode for Claude Code uses the same Claude Opus 4.6 model with faster output. It does NOT switch to a different model. It can be toggled with /fast."

Evidence

System prompt template (search for "<fast_mode_info>")

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