How to Prompt Claude Opus 5: What to Change, and What to Delete

Anthropic published dedicated guidance for prompting Claude Opus 5, and most of the advice is subtractive.

This guide covers the API changes that return a 400, the six prompt edits that matter, why effort is the wrong lever for response length, and the exact wording Anthropic recommends.
