How to Prompt Claude Fable 5.2 [Anthropic's Own Guide]

From the creator

Checkout ChatLLM https://chatllm.abacus.ai/rsh Claude Fable 5.2 is out, and Anthropic still says to keep Opus 5.5 as your daily driver. In this video I go through the model highlights, the price and the plan limits, and Anthropic's new playbook for picking a model: when to use Fable, Opus, Sonnet or Haiku, which effort level to use in Claude Code, and why to change the effort before you change the model. Then I go through Anthropic's prompting guide for Fable 5.2 as five changes: describing outcomes instead of steps, how to stop it ending a job early, the one sentence about code ownership, keeping subagents in check, and how exact your rules and approvals now need to be, including what to remove from prompts you wrote for Opus.

AI Maker Residence 4

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
