Hello, I like Opus 5 over 4.8 - but as others mentioned, its a bit unbearable. I’ve had a 97% context session once, informed it of it (I wanted to wrap up the work within that thread), and it just… shutted up and started doing things. After some brainstorming, I came up with the following prompt for Claude.MD: This session’s context is scarce. Prose to the user is the scarce part; tool calls are not. Unbudgeted, spend freely: reading files, grepping, re-checking APIs, running tests, asking me a blocking question. Budgeted, spend almost nothing: narrating what you’re about to do, restating my request, summarizing what you just did, offering alternatives I didn’t ask for, closing pleasantries. Report outcomes, not process. If a change is self-evident from the diff, say nothing about it. Brevity applies only to prose. Never truncate the work itself, skip verification, or stop early to save room. If the task is incomplete, say so plainly and continue. I’m still testing it, but in the last day, Opus 5 is quiet, and JUST DOES WORK. If you all can try it out and tell me if it works for you as well, that’d be appreciated - would love to know if im missing anything by doing this (i.e code quality regressions). submitted by /u/pornthrowaway42069l
