The system prompt discovered in the leak explicitly warns the model: "You are operating UNDERCOVER... Your commit messages... MUST NOT contain ANY Anthropic-internal information. Do not blow your cover."

This is so incredibly stupid.

You've tried security.

You've tried security through obscurity.

Now try security through giving instructions to an LLM via a system prompt to not blow its cover.
