Is Claude an innie or an outie?

§ goodClaude, bughunter and other internal commands

The commands file has a section of internal-only commands that are hidden in external builds: bughunter, commitPushPr, ctx_viz, goodClaude (which is disabled and hidden, we will never know what it did), ultraplan, ultrareview, teleport, and ant-trace. These exist only in Anthropic’s internal build.

There’s also a rich set of feature flags for experimental modes: PROACTIVE (autonomous agent), KAIROS (an assistant/brief mode), COORDINATOR_MODE (multi-agent orchestration where Claude spawns worker agents), AGENT_TRIGGERS (cron job scheduling for agents), VOICE_MODE, and BUDDY (the companion pets). The coordinator mode is particularly interesting because it explicitly tells the orchestrating agent: “Never write ‘based on your findings’ or ‘based on the research.’ These phrases delegate understanding to the worker instead of doing it yourself.” Whoever wrote that has seen too many LLM responses that start with “Based on my findings…”

This is giving me such Lumen security room protocol vibes it’s unbelievable. It makes us all innies, poking around exploring what Anthropic can do with Claude, and as such, to us.
