Opus 5.5 is much better, but IME I always have to force it to review its writing (Opus 5.5) to get it to put the most important facts first (and not bury the lede). It loves to park the main point far away after intermediate clauses. It always writes “premise, so consequence.” It takes a prompt asking to review against rules in context for it to fix it.

The ‘concise’ output style setting is bad with Opus 5.5, as it will often spit out a cryptic (is this really English?!), allergic-to-commas concise response, which takes more time to parse.

Oh it loves to bury a lede.

    < mundane detail>
    < If you don't run this command your computer will explode>
    < exposition > 
    < mundane reminder to follow up something else >

Then 3 back and forths later, your computer explodes, and claude has the cheek to point out when questioned that it did warn you.
