Now that Opus 5 is out here and everyone (including the creators) are saying we need to change the way we prompt/control the environment coding agents work in, as someone trying to get better at this stuff and learn from the community would be really helpful for people to share their claude.md instructions they really find super powerful and other techniques for engineering context/claude prompts so that the work output improves Community could be way more positive and uplifting than the numerous “F*** claude” or “they nerfed the limits again” posts on here, just wanted to share my thoughts on this. Specifically for claude.md , how do we bring back the amazing way opus 4.6 would just get shit done and speak so cleanly compared to the messy and overcomplicated way 4.8 or 5 (fable/opus) speak. They just word dump now days and nothing I’ve tried in claude.md to have it clean up and speak simpler has worked. Another example is handling ultra code loops and orchestration flows… all kind of a mess now with the new models behaving differently and supposed changed system prompts on claude’s side of things. submitted by /u/Civil-Vermicelli3803
