Developers discussed best practices for using Claude Opus. It is recommended to delete all preset skills, MCPs, and configuration files to start fresh.
Additionally, instead of telling the model exactly how to do it step-by-step, just give it clear goals, or collaborate to create a detailed plan document before letting it implement, which yields much better results.
