I don’t get it. What does this mean? I can use Claude code now without anyone knowing it is Claude code.

Undercover mode is the most concerning part here tbh.

it's written to _actively_ avoid any signs of AI generated code when "in a PUBLIC/OPEN-SOURCE repository".
Also, it's not about you. Undercover mode only activates for Anthropic employees (it's gated on USER_TYPE === 'ant', which is a build-time flag baked into internal builds).

I think it means OSS projects should start unilaterally banning submissions from people working for Anthropic.
