Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 guide explains which prompt habits now hurt more than help

- This is the linked source for Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 prompting guide.
- The documentation frames Opus 5 as strongest for complex agentic coding, especially multi-file refactors, end-to-end features, code review, and bug-finding.
- It also lists several prompt patterns that are now less useful, including redundant “double-check” instructions and over-constraining review scope.
- Compared with earlier Claude models, the takeaway is to give the model the full task and let it run, instead of over-orchestrating every step.
