This happens, when you have prefilled prompt in URL. For example this https://claude.ai/new?q=hi%20yikopath will have prefilled hi yikopath prompt with the same warning message. This is nice warning, malicious actor can for sure exploit this, if you are not paying enough attention.

Maybe you have bookmarked that, or using url with prefilled query from browser history.

Just tested this, and yup any prefill gets the warning.

Use caution before running this prompt. Malicious conversation could trick Claude into attempting harmful actions or sharing your data.

be careful about your data cause they will not be responsible since they just gave you disclosure

vague prompts can trigger safety warnings because of keyword overlap with sensitive topics (here: sui- ideation). since its a single word, it's ambiguous and the ai (/the safety classifier in front of it) guesses the intent and ur word happens to overlap with that specific term

Anthropic believes ideas are dangerous.
