February 8, 2025 - Kind of seems deceptive, even, to call that the 'System prompt'. ... How is this published as a leak? A leak from the open documentation perhaps, lmao. ... It seems to differ a lot from what is on the documentation. ... They looked the same to me. I'm not frking chatgpt that can count words instantly. ... This doesn’t include things like the list of available artifact libraries (which are easy to get Claude to spit out - just ask - and precisely match the prompt suggested in this post) More replies

r/AI_Agents on Reddit: Claude 3.7’s full 24,000-token system prompt just leaked. And it changes the game.
May 18, 2025 -

This isn’t some cute jailbreak. This is the actual internal config Anthropic runs:
→ behavioral rules
→ tool logic (web/code search)
→ artifact system
→ jailbreak resistance
→ templated reasoning modes for pro users

And it’s 10x larger than their public prompt. What they show you is the tip of the iceberg. This is the engine.This matters because prompt engineering isn’t dead. It just got buried under NDAs and legal departments.
The real Claude is an orchestrated agent framework. Not just a chat model.
Safety filters, GDPR hacks, structured outputs, all wrapped in invisible scaffolding.
Everyone saying “LLMs are commoditized” should read this and think again. The moat is in the prompt layer.
Oh, and the anti-jailbreak logic is now public. Expect a wave of adversarial tricks soon...So yeah, if you're building LLM tools, agents, or eval systems and you're not thinking this deep… you're playing checkers.
