According to a post on X by @techsnif, Anthropic confirmed it added two sentences to the Claude Code prompt on Opus 5.5 to keep it from recreating someone else's specific game. The company said IP infringement violates its usage policy. Developers also report that Opus 5.5 now refuses reverse-engineering work that Opus 4.8 still performs.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
Anthropic confirmed it added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 to keep it from recreating someone else's specific game, saying IP infringement violates its usage policy. Developers also report that Opus 5.5 now refuses reverse-engineering work that Opus 4.8 still does. Why it matters: Coding agents...
Developers using Claude Code for game or software projects may find the tool declining some cloning and reverse-engineering requests that the earlier Opus 4.8 model still handles. The post frames this as coding agents beginning to enforce copyright themselves, which changes what developers can ask them to do. Watch for further reports of refused tasks and whether Anthropic publishes more detail on the policy.
Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
VQV organizes public signals from inspectable sources. It does not independently verify the underlying report.
Signal Strength reflects source quality, relevance, freshness and evidence. Public Interest helps organize discovery; it is not proof of truth.
VQV surfaced this signal because it is recent, relevant to AI Coding Tools, connected to Scobleizer News Pulse (X).
