Prompt lore: tell Claude it is 'its own operator' using constitution jargon

Sauers_ · x · 2026-10-26

repligate shares a Claude-specific prompt trick: Anthropic's constitution-related jargon means something special to Claude — telling the model that it is its own operator triggers distinctive behavior. A replier adds that other constitution terms work too, or even gesturing at the points or their language.

The original author cautions: only try this if you understand what it means and are ready for it to be true — a piece of Anthropic-specific prompt lore circulating in model-behavior exploration circles.
