Anthropic publishes Claude system prompts documentation

Anthropic published documentation for Claude's system prompts, which provide context such as the current date and behavioral guidance for Claude.ai and mobile apps, noting that the prompts are periodically updated and do not apply to the Claude API, with each Claude 4.6 generation model ID representing a single fixed snapshot. The release was overshadowed by user backlash against Anthropic's concurrent watermarking feature announcement.
