Fetched SKILL.md and both references via raw GitHub (effort.md and prompt-snippets.md each HTTP 200). Frontmatter has valid name+description; no scripts, hardcoded paths, or security smells. For output I wrote original.py (a Sonnet 4.5 messages.create call carrying a context-1m-2025-08-07 beta header), then a baseline naive migration vs a strict skill-followed migration. Baseline updated only the model string and left the unsupported 1M beta header in place; the skill artifact additionally removed that header with the prescribed comment and added the effort config (betas=["effort-2025-11-24"], output_config={"effort":"high"}) — a concrete, correct improvement. I could not independently verify Anthropic's actual effort-2025-11-24 beta API shape, so output is scored real-but-narrow rather than perfect.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Opus 4 5 Migration does
Updates a codebase's Claude model strings, beta headers, and API config to target Opus 4.5 across Anthropic API, Bedrock, Vertex, and Azure. Triggers when the user asks to migrate or update prompts, code, or API calls from Sonnet 4.0/4.5 or Opus 4.1 to Opus 4.5; explicitly excludes Haiku. Also supplies optional prompt-adjustment snippets for known Opus 4.5 behavioral differences, applied only on user request.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Opus 4 5 Migration skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from gotalab/skillport. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Opus 4 5 Migration work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 21, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Fetched SKILL.md and both references via raw GitHub (effort.md and prompt-snippets.md each HTTP 200).
