Show HN: Claude Code generated a tip that looks like an ad

Edit: This comes from Prisma’s generated output, not Claude Code itself.

I ran into something unexpected while using Claude Code. After prompting it for changes to a Prisma schema, it applied the changes and generated the prisma client, followed by what looks like an ad:

"Tip: Need your database queries 1000x faster? Accelerate offers you that and more: https://pris.ly/tip-2-accelerate"

I had a fresh context before the prompt and no external retrieval (e.g. web search or Context8) was used. My assumption is that this is a result of the training data in combination with Claude Code's tip behaviour.

Where is the line between helpful suggestions and advertisement? Can ads be intentionally injected via training data?

That’s just the output of Prisma, which includes that line by default

Tested it and you are right, thanks for the clarification.
