Claude Opus 5 Turns Prompting Into Harness Calibration

Anthropic's Opus 5 prompting guide shows model upgrades changing the harness contract: verbosity, progress updates, scope, subagents, verification, and thinking mode all need retuning.

Signal contract

Anthropic's Opus 5 prompting guide shows model upgrades changing the harness contract: verbosity, progress updates, scope, subagents, verification, and thinking mode all need retuning. This official-source record adds evidence that model upgrades are no longer just capability changes; they force prompt, effort, delegation, and verification policies to move with the runtime. Novelty: structural. Verification: source-inspected.
