@mazeincoding shares a trick: putting "load-bearing" in your prompt makes Opus 5.5-level models stop holding back and give full-strength output. The screenshot shows the model delivering a dramatic verdict on whether skills are still load-bearing: the skill ecosystem has split into a dying half (skills that merely teach the model what it already knows natively) and a thriving half, with a 10k-star video-craft repo author recommending users uninstall code-built video skills.
