A massive collection of leaked and official system prompts documents the hidden behavioral rules, default tool configurations, and orchestration frameworks of leading AI chat interfaces. Developers can inspect these prompts to master prompt-engineering patterns and tool-calling structures.

Why it matters

A bug in OpenAI Codex Desktop app serializes local model chat transcripts and routes them to OpenAI backend servers during background memory syncs. This occurs even when telemetry and analytics are completely disabled. Developers running private models can prevent leaks by setting memories feature to false in their config.
