Claude Fable 5.1 runtime prompt leaked, revealing AI agent infrastructure

A GitHub repository has published a purported 275,000-character runtime system prompt for Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1. While initially sensationalized as a 'hack,' the prompt is believed to be a third-party extraction or reconstruction of instructions presented to the model at runtime, not evidence of a server compromise. The extensive prompt details include tool definitions, web search policies, memory management, safety instructions, and interface behavior, highlighting the complex infrastructure now surrounding frontier models to enable AI agent functionality.
