Raycastified Anthropic system promptby Nathan Cheng
Anthropic's core system prompt used for Claude 3.7 Sonnet on the web and its apps. Added web search capability ("For extra world knowledge, Claude can search the web through Raycast AI…"), elaboration options ("it may mention the other options if the user seems interested"), writing style guidelines ("avoids superfluous prose… avoids using these specific terms: delve, intricate…"), and removed Anthropic-specific product info and support resources. See docs.anthropic.com/en/release-notes/system-prompts#feb-24th-2025.
