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.

Compact Line Number Prefix Format

The Read tool output format is being updated from spaces + line number + arrow to a more compact line number + tab format. The Edit tool description dynamically adapts to tell the model which format is in use, reducing confusion when matching indentation.

Evidence

Dynamic format description (search for "line number + tab") — controlled by tengu_compact_line_prefix_killswitch

[Gradual Rollout] — gated by tengu_compact_line_prefix_killswitch feature flag.

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