Claude Skills are reusable instruction packages that help Claude Code handle a recurring type of work in a consistent way. A skill can contain a `SKILL.
Claude Projects give repeatable context: create a purpose-defined workspace, add only approved sources, write clear instructions, and review stored context regularly.
Claude handles low-risk writing and analysis safely; risk comes from pasted sensitive data, unreviewed outputs, and high-stakes decisions. Practices that keep use safe.
In late July 2026, Claude’s public share links were missing a working noindex instruction, so Google and Bing began indexing shared conversations — some with highly sensitive data. Anthropic added the missing tags and Google started removing results by July 26. Nothing was hacked; this was a consent-and-configuration failure, and the fix on your side is to review and revoke your shared links.
Claude Mythos 5 is Anthropic’s restricted-access Mythos-class model — the same underlying model family as Fable 5 but with fewer safeguards and stricter access controls. It is limited to approved Project Glasswing and trusted-access partners. This guide covers what Mythos 5 is, how access works, benchmark data, safety design, and when Mythos-class capability matters versus Fable 5 or Opus 5.
A head-to-head comparison of Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5: benchmark deltas, pricing tiers, feature differences, and a practical decision framework. Opus 5 leads on complex reasoning and agentic coding; Sonnet 5 delivers strong everyday performance at lower cost. Includes use-case breakdowns, competition context, and FAQ.
Every Claude model and pricing tier in one guide. API pricing for Fable 5 ($10/$50), Opus 5 ($5/$25), Sonnet 5 ($3/$15 intro $2/$10), and Haiku 4.5 ($1/$5) per MTok. Subscription plans from Free to Enterprise. Prompt caching, batch API, fast mode, and cross-provider comparisons — all verified July 25, 2026.
Claude Opus 5 launched July 24, 2026. It delivers near-Fable 5 intelligence at Opus pricing ($5/$25 per MTok), with a 1M-token context window, 128K max output, and state-of-the-art results on Frontier-Bench, ARC-AGI 3, and OSWorld 2.0. This guide covers benchmarks, pricing, safety, access, and how Opus 5 compares to Fable 5, Sonnet 5, and the competition.
Anthropic’s new Record a skill command lets paid Claude users demonstrate a task on screen, explain decisions aloud, and convert that demonstration into a reusable Cowork workflow.
