  • Anthropic confirms Claude Code rule blocks recreating specific existing games

    Anthropic confirmed that Claude Code now includes a server-side rule, injected into the model's system prompt, that prevents Claude from recreating a specific existing game, even if renamed or claimed original. The rule, stored in the local .claude.json config file under the field tengu_heron_brook, cannot be disabled by users. Anthropic cited IP infringement as violating its usage policy, amid a wave of AI-assisted game cloning.
