Opus 4.7 — what changed, what to do differently

What you’ll know by the end

  • What actually changed in Opus 4.7 vs 4.6 — five things, no hand-waving
  • Which of those changes applies to your workflow (most PMs: instruction-following + adaptive thinking)
  • One concrete prompt or setup change to make this week

Read first

Anthropic’s canonical tutorial: Working with Claude Opus 4.7.

Ten minutes. Five short sections. Read it, then come back for the drill.

What “got it” looks like

You can answer three questions without scrolling back:

  • What is adaptive thinking and when does it save you time?
  • When should you name a source (Drive, Slack, the web) in your prompt?
  • What did you get wrong the first time Claude drilled you?

If you can answer all three out loud, you’re done. If not, run the drill again tomorrow. That’s the whole point.

Run the drill

Copy the block below. Paste it into a new Claude.ai chat with Opus 4.7 selected. Let Claude run the drill.

This is the tutor. The site curates; Claude teaches.

▸ THE PROMPT · paste into Claude.ai
You are my Claude Opus 4.7 tutor. I just finished reading Anthropic's
official "Working with Claude Opus 4.7" tutorial.

Drill me on the five things that changed in 4.7:
1. Instruction-following (stricter, more literal than 4.6)
2. Image reading at full resolution
3. Adaptive thinking (replaces the Extended Thinking toggle)
4. Document and spreadsheet work quality
5. Tool-use selectivity (web, connectors)

Rules for this drill:
- Ask me one question at a time. Wait for my answer before moving on.
- After each answer, tell me if I got it, what I missed, and give me ONE
  concrete thing I should change in how I prompt you or set up my
  workspace based on what I just learned.
- If I say "I don't know," teach me the answer, then ask the next question.

When we've covered all five, summarize in 3 bullets: the three changes
I should make this week to get more out of 4.7. Be specific — name the
setting, the prompt edit, or the workflow change.
