I won't waste time talking about it because if you are truly interested and have technical knowledge you already knew what was going on or have already watched a video of some YouTuber breaking it down but I will share this website that someone recently vibe coded explaining the entire process
ccunpacked.dev
In all chatbots is the hidden prompt that the system already has gets combined with your own prompt then gets fed into the LLM and out comes AI slop but in claude the process is a lot more complex and more involved.
There's a full agent loop, 50+ tools for file ops / bash / planning / multi-agent stuff, slash commands, state management, and all kinds of orchestration layers on top of the model so it the answer it spits out seem much better.
TLDR- Claude is not magic. It just uses a bunch of concepts that were known since 1970s and sandwiches then with thousands of lines prompt spaghetti with hard guardrails in place to ensure the LLM doesn't something weird. No superhuman intelligence or something revolutionary happening. Just massive scale, tons of context and serious computing power behind it that makes it feel like magic.
Claude Code Unpacked
What actually happens when you type a message into Claude Code? The agent loop, 50+ tools, multi-agent orchestration, and unreleased features, mapped from source.
