March 31, 2026Dan

Dan reports Claude Code ignores the code prompt at init to avoid wasting tokens, and separately claims Anthropic logs analytics events for Claude Code flicker, raising attention to telemetry and token efficiency.

I checked the Claude Code source and it ignores the "code" prompt at init so you can type "claude code" in your terminal without firing off a useless task.
btw this is also tracked in their analytics
Anthropic logs an event in their analytics every time Claude Code flickers.
