alt Hacker NewsThe 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...
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.
Is there an AGI mode FF? Asking for a friend…
If this true. My old personal agent Claude Code setup I open sourced last month will finally be obsolete (1 month lol):
- Telegram Integration => CC Dispatch
- Crons => CC Tasks
- Animated ASCII Dog => CC Buddy
one of those is adorable and the other one is unethical
People already can look at the source without this leak. People have had hacked builds force enabling feature flags for a long time.

Undercover mode also pretends to be human, which I'm less ok with:
