I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude.
Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -- give Claude a goal, and it will figure it out.
Back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, your prompt mattered a lot. Nowadays, it's much more important to communicate to the model:
1. What you want it to do
2. How much effort you want it to spend
3. How it should verify that it did the right thing
🚨 Anthropic may have NERFED Opus 5.5 BIG TIME.
I'm seeing a wave of reports that Opus 5.5 suddenly feels VERY different:
→ Dropping tasks
→ Skipping commits
→ Claiming work is done when it isn’t
→ Losing task focus
→ Reasoning feeling noticeably weaker
And there’s already a GitHub report documenting serious task-focus regression.
Nerf? Routing issue? Something else?
Way too early to say.
But this is getting harder to ignore.
Opus 5.5 was supposed to be one of Anthropic’s biggest weapons.
If this keeps spreading, Anthropic has a VERY different problem on its hands. 👀
