Hacker News with Generative AI: Claude

Highlights from the Claude 4 system prompt (simonwillison.net)
Anthropic publish most of the system prompts for their chat models as part of their release notes. They recently shared the new prompts for both Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. I enjoyed digging through the prompts, since they act as a sort of unofficial manual for how best to use these tools. Here are my highlights, including a dive into the leaked tool prompts that Anthropic didn’t publish themselves.
Claude 4 System Card (simonwillison.net)
Anthropic's system cards are always worth a look, and this one for the new Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 has some particularly spicy notes. It's also 120 pages long - nearly three times the length of the system card for Claude 3.7 Sonnet!

Everything I built with Claude Artifacts this week (simonwillison.net)
I’m a huge fan of Claude’s Artifacts feature, which lets you prompt Claude to create an interactive Single Page App (using HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and then view the result directly in the Claude interface, iterating on it further with the bot and then, if you like, copying out the resulting code.
