The big loss for Anthropic here is how it reveals their product roadmap via feature flags. A big one is their unreleased "assistant mode" with code name kairos.

Just point your agent at this codebase and ask it to find things and you'll find a whole treasure trove of info.

Edit: some other interesting unreleased/hidden features

- The Buddy System: Tamagotchi-style companion creature system with ASCII art sprites

- Undercover mode: Strips ALL Anthropic internal info from commits/PRs for employees on open source contributions

Note also the "Claude Capybara" reference in the undercover prompt: https://github.com/chatgptprojects/claude-code/blob/642c7f94...

This seems like a good way to weed out models: ask them to include the term capybara in their commit messages

At least this was known with the Mythos "early blog post" fiasco.

If this true. My old personal agent Claude Code setup I open sourced last month will finally be obsolete (1 month lol):

https://clappie.ai

- Telegram Integration => CC Dispatch

- Crons => CC Tasks

- Animated ASCII Dog => CC Buddy

Not necessarily; I would very much like to use those features on a Linux server. Currently the Anthropic implementation forces a desktop (or worse, a laptop) to be turned on instead of working headless as far as I understand it.

I’ll give clappie a go, love the theme for the landing page!

Poor mum

Not at all. I am a big a Claude Code fan and glad they are releasing more and more features for users

Clappie looks much more fabulous than CC though. I'll have to give it a try. I like how you put the requests straight into an already running CC session instead of calling `claude -p` every time like the claws.

Thanks so much! It's a fancy landing page thanks to Claude.

Tmux is seriously an amazing tool.

Dispatch and scheduled tasks have been available for a few weeks already, although with limitations.

I didn't know this existed. I had claude put this together for me from scratch a week ago. Tmux and claude and telegram is a really powerful combo!

all these flags are findable by pointing claude at the binary and asking it to find festure flags.

(spoiler alert)

Buddy system is this year's April Fool's joke, you roll your own gacha pet that you get to keep. There are legendary pulls.

They expect it to go viral on Twitter so they are staggering the reveals.

You heard it here first

So close to April Fool's too. I'm sure it will still be a surprise for a majority of their users.

lol that's funny, I have been working seriously [1] on a feature like this after first writing about it jokingly [2] earlier this year.

The joke was the assistant is a cat who is constantly sabotaging you, and you have to take care of it like a gacha pet.

The seriousness though is that actually, disembodied intelligences are weird, so giving them a face and a body and emotions is a natural thing, and we already see that with various AI mascots and characters coming into existence.

[2]: joke: https://github.com/cmontella/purrtran

You know, that would actually be pretty fun and cool. Like if you had home automation set up with a "pet assistant", but it would only follow your commands if you made sure to keep it happy.

If it could somehow only work if I maintain the kitchen sink and counter, then maybe I'd be motivated to keep the house clean. The gacha game trains you.

Is it just me or does MicroMika kinda resemble Rocky from Project Hail Mary?

haha right! I think if I were to make Rocky though, there are a number of more geometric symbols. Maybe like

Is there an AGI mode FF? Asking for a friend…

People already can look at the source without this leak. People have had hacked builds force enabling feature flags for a long time.

one of those is adorable and the other one is unethical
