technically you're correct, but look at the prompt https://github.com/alex000kim/claude-code/blob/main/src/util...
it's written to _actively_ avoid any signs of AI generated code when "in a PUBLIC/OPEN-SOURCE repository".
Also, it's not about you. Undercover mode only activates for Anthropic employees (it's gated on USER_TYPE === 'ant', which is a build-time flag baked into internal builds).
I don’t know what you mean. It just informs to not use internal code names.
It also says don't announce that you are AI in any way including asking it to not say "Co-authored by Claude". I read the file myself.
I'm still inclined to think people might be overreacting to that bit since it seems to be for anthropic-only to prevent leaking internal info.
But I did read the prompt and it did say hide the fact that you are AI.
Why does that matter though

I agree with you, I think people are overthinking this.
