New in Claude Cowork: teach Claude a skill.
Record your screen while you do a task, talk through it as you go, and Claude turns it into a skill it can run again. Find it under Record a skill in the + menu of the Claude desktop app.
Available on Pro, Max, and Team plans.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Application for the next cohort of our Technical Product Management program at @trefordafrica is now offically open.
Developing this program started in March 2025 and launched first cohort in Q4 2025 with just one goal, help PMs fill that technical fluency gap that gives them imposter syndrome.
You would be shocked to know much imposter syndrome PMs deal with, especially when coming from a very non-technical background into highly technical teams.
Two cohorts down already and we already on the third one with some incoming new faculty members you have to stay tuned for the unveiling. Apply via link here;

A question I get fairly often: is there a programme for PMs who already have experience but feel like they have plateaued? Not just starting out. Not trying to switch careers. Already in the role, already shipping, but aware that something in how they think about product is not where it needs to be for the next level.
We have been rebuilding something for exactly that person @trefordafrica ..... If you're interested in seeing what the program looks like, let me know so you can be one of the first people to see the details.
We are looking for the next generation of technical talent at Seplat Energy.
Our 2026 Technical Graduate Trainee Programme is now open for applications. Engineering and technical graduates with strong analytical skills, curiosity for learning, and a drive to grow are encouraged to apply for the opportunity to build a long-term career in Nigeria’s leading independent energy company.

Applications close 13 May 2026.

Live from Code with Claude: we're launching dreaming in Claude Managed Agents as a research preview.
Outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks are now in public beta.

This is the foundation. But the compounding trick has a ceiling , claude.md still bloats over time.
I pair mine with a learning.md. Claude logs observations each run, detects patterns, and promotes validated ones into claude.md. Stale stuff gets pruned.
Claude.md stays lean. Learning.md becomes the long-term memory. The file doesn’t just compound , it evolves.
The CLAUDE.md file loads into context for every single message you send in Claude Code. Not the first message. Every message.
Most people either skip it entirely or fill it with generic instructions that waste tokens. After iterating on mine over 100 times, here's what actually moves the needle.
Six sections. Who you are (name, role, team, current quarter focus). How you work (communication style, delegation triggers like "when I say spin up, delegate to a sub-agent"). Your tools (which CLIs are installed, which MCPs are active). Current priorities (the 3 things that matter this week). Skills (pointer to your skills folder). Preferences (formatting, tone, output style).
The compounding trick is what separates a good CLAUDE.md from a great one. Every time Claude Code does something wrong, you pull the fix into CLAUDE.md. "Always use Jupyter notebooks for data analysis." "Check /knowledge/people/ before drafting any message." "Do not run research in the main session."
Over months, this file becomes an incredibly precise instruction set. Claude feels like it already knows you. Dave Killeen, the CPO at Pendo, told me his Claude Code system built on this foundation is better than the human executive assistant he used to have.
The common mistakes: making it too long (Claude ignores noise after 100 lines), not updating it weekly, vague preferences like "be helpful" or "be concise."
What actually works: specific rules with clear triggers. "When I say spin up, delegate to a sub-agent." "Use Jupyter notebooks for any data analysis." "Check knowledge/people before drafting."
If you only set up one file, make it this one.
