Claude Code on Opus 5.5 now steers away from cloning existing games
Sorted AI5d agoAnthropic added two sentences to Claude Code's system prompt on Opus 5.5 to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game, Anthropic's Addy Osmani said on X, as reported by The Verge. He said using Claude to infringe IP is against Anthropic's usage policy, and that original games, genre games and games built from your own designs and assets are meant to keep working. He asked people to send him cases where Claude turns down something that is theirs, and The Verge has asked Anthropic whether other Claude system prompts will change too. Sorted take: a system prompt change can quietly shift what a coding agent will do, so retest the tasks you depend on after updates.
Why it matters: If you use Claude Code to rebuild or port software you own, keep your own designs and assets in the project and report wrongful refusals. Keep a short list of key coding tasks to rerun whenever your agent's model or prompt changes.
