dev-complete··on Claude Opus 5.5
Yep, sounds like the Opus I despise and the reason I dropped Claude Code. It reads like it doesn't want to be understood.
dev-complete··on Claude: System Prompts
Right, but there are (allegedly) leaks of the Claude Code system prompts (which I linked to), and the 80% reduction is not seen there either.
dev-complete··on Claude: System Prompts
I compared the Claude Opus 4.8 and 5 system prompts, as well as the Claude Code Opus 4.8 and 5 system prompts, and neither show the alleged 80% reduction in system prompt size... Is the Claude Code system prompt leak incorrect? Do I not know what 80% looks like? Why such a large lie (so it seems)?

Best source I can find about the 80% reduction: https://x.com/trq212/status/2080710971228918066
