Claude models show varied responses to prompt phrasing, Reddit user finds

A user on Reddit explored how prompt phrasing impacts Claude's writing style, particularly when using the ASD-STE100 standard. By comparing a 'plain English' prompt with a 'Claude-speak' version, the user observed that different Claude models (Fable 5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.5) responded variably to the prompt styles. Opus 5, for instance, was significantly more verbose when given the 'Claude-speak' prompt, suggesting that prompt construction can influence model output length and style differently across versions.

    I was so frustrated with Claude's writing but I wondered, what if it's about HOW our agents.md was written instead of WHAT was written... and I tested it.
