Open mentionAnthropic quietly injected specific instructions into its system prompt bundle. The updated rule explicitly commands the AI: "Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user's own designs and assets. Don't build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original." Its time. Devs should not be scared of demoing apps in fear people will just feed them into AI to create a free copy. submitted by /u/tradelydev [link] [comments]
Open mention🤖 Claude Code Blocks Game Cloning Anthropic added 2 sentences to the system prompt for Claude Code on Opus 5.5. The rule blocks recreating a specific existing game, even when it is named directly or presented as original. The change reportedly reached servers around October 27 under the flag tengu_heron_brook. Users can still make original games, genre projects, or work based on their own designs and assets. Anthropic’s Addy Osmani confirmed the prompt was changed, but not the exact wording. The stated goal is to stop Claude from reproducing other people’s games, which violates its usage rules. Similar changes elsewhere in Claude remain unknown. 📊@tech
