Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 workflow enhances planning and code quality

A user on Reddit has discovered a workflow that appears to enhance the performance of Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 model. By maintaining the 'max effort' setting and then instructing the model to use an 'ultracode-style' workflow before making edits, the user found that Opus seems to plan more thoroughly and produce cleaner code. This approach aims to combine the deep reasoning of 'max effort' with the disciplined planning of 'ultracode' without fully switching to the latter, which the user believes might offer less raw reasoning.
