I'm amazed at how much of what my past employers would call trade secrets are just being shipped in the source. Including comments that just plainly state the whole business backstory of certain decisions. It's like they discarded all release harnesses and project tracking and just YOLO'd everything into the codebase itself. Edit: Everyone is responding "comments are good" and I can't tell if any of you actually read…
Earlier quoted context omitted.

~That line isn't in the file I linked, care to share the context? Seems pretty innocuous on its own.~ [edit] Never mind, find in page fail on my end.
Guys I’m somewhat suspicious of all the leaks from Anthropic and think it may be intentional. Remember the leaked blog about Mythos?
Granted, there's a small counterargument for mythos which is that it's probably going to be API-only not subscription
I don't understand the part about undercover mode. How is this different from disabling claude attribution in commits (and optionally telling claude to act human?) On that note, this article is also pretty obviously AI-generated and it's unfortunate the author didn't clean it up.
The name "Undercover mode" and the line `The phrase "Claude Code" or any mention that you are an AI` sound spooky, but after reading the source my first knee-jerk reaction wouldn't be "this is for pretending to be human" given that the file is largely about hiding Anthropic internal information such as code names. I encourage looking at the source itself in order to draw your conclusions, it's very short: https://git…

NEVER include in commit messages or PR descriptions:
- The phrase "Claude Code" or any mention that you are an AI
- Co-Authored-By lines or any other attribution
BAD (never write these):
- 1-shotted by claude-opus-4-6
- Generated with Claude Code
- Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6

Why? Agents may or may not read docs. It may or may not use skills or tools. It will always read comments "in the line of sight" of the task.
You get free long term agent memory with zero infrastructure.
They would either need to lie about consuming the tokens at one point to use in another so the token counting was precise.
But that does not make sense because if someone counted the tokens by capturing the session it would certainly not match what was charged.
Unless they would charge for the fake tools anyway so you never know they were there

Undercover mode seems like a way to make contributions to OSS when they detect issues, without accidentally leaking that it was claude-mythos-gigabrain-100000B that figured out the issue
