> A .claude.json screenshot posted Oct. 30 showed the instruction and outlined permissions for original, genre-based and user-designed games.

A screenshot of a Claude Code configuration file shows an instruction against recreating specific existing games and outlines a boundary for game-building requests.

The instruction permits original games, games within a genre and projects using a user's own designs and assets. It says a specific existing game should not be recreated, even if the project uses a different name or is described as original.

The instruction gives no examples or criteria for what counts as a recreation. The screenshot documents the text in the configuration file; it does not establish how consistently Claude Code applies the instruction to requests.
