The Six-Month Audit: find every instruction in your Claude setup that the new models outgrew

Anthropic's own team deleted 80% of Claude Code's system prompt when Opus 5 shipped and it got better. This is the audit that finds what yours should lose: 7 delete checks, 5 add checks, every one traceable to a line in Anthropic's live docs. Includes the installable skill and a paste-able version for anyone who does not use Claude Code.

Added 7 August 2026. Free.
