What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of updating codebases, prompts, and API calls from older Claude models (Sonnet 4.0, Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.1) to the latest Opus 4.5, ensuring compatibility and leveraging new model capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model String Updates: Automatically replaces outdated model identifiers with the correct Opus 4.5 strings for various platforms (Anthropic API, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry).
  • Prompt Adjustment Guidance: Provides specific instructions and code snippets to address known behavioral differences in Opus 4.5, such as tool overtriggering, over-engineering, code exploration, and frontend design.
  • Unsupported Header Removal: Identifies and removes deprecated beta headers that are incompatible with Opus 4.5.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to migrate their application's AI integration from claude-opus-4-1-20250422 to claude-opus-4-5-20251101 across their Python codebase and system prompts. This Skill guides them through updating model strings, removing the context-1m-2025-08-07 header, and applying prompt adjustments for better Opus 4.5 performance.

Quick Start

Use the claude-opus-4-5-migration skill to update all model strings in the project to claude-opus-4-5-20251101 and remove any context-1m-2025-08-07 headers.
