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.

Task Tool: Simplified Background Agent Notifications

The Task tool's run_in_background description was simplified from "The tool result will include an output_file path — use Read tool or Bash tail to check on output" to "You will be notified when it completes."

Evidence

Updated background description (search for "You will be notified when it completes")

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