Everything you learned about prompting 6 months ago is now breaking your outputs on modern AI models like Claude Opus 5 and Fable 5.
Swipe through to see Anthropic’s official new prompting guidance!
What’s inside:
1. Stop Micro-Managing Steps — Provide goal & specs; stop listing rigid sub-steps.
2. Give Reasons, Not Just Requests — Share context so Claude can exercise judgment.
3. Set Explicit Stopping Criteria — Define clear scope limits to prevent over-delivery.
4. Drop Hard Constraints — Remove ALL-CAPS warnings; use plain justifications.
5. Reframe Negative Rules — Tell Claude what TO do instead of what to avoid.
6. Stop Requesting Thinking — Let native extended thinking handle internal reasoning.
7. Drop “Double-Check Your Work” — Use model effort parameters for quality control.
