Enum Role 

pub enum Role {
    System,
    Developer,
    User,
    Assistant,
}

The author of a message (ADR-0013).

System is the static base identity; Developer is client-injected instructions and dynamic context. On the wire, System maps to Anthropic’s top-level system (or an OpenAI system message), while Developer maps to an Anthropic mid-conversation system message (or an OpenAI developer message).

Variants

System

Immutable base identity and safety/policy — the “constitution”.

Developer

App-author instructions and dynamically injected operational context.

User

The human’s turns; also carries ContentBlock::ToolResult blocks.

Assistant

The model’s turns: text, thinking, and tool-use blocks.
