Automated summary

This skill switches the current Claude Code session to the Claude Opus 4.5 model through the /model command.

Strengths

Switches models with a single command and no manual configuration
Explicitly confirms the change back to the user
Avoids typos by wrapping the exact model identifier

Limitations

Only works inside Claude Code, since /model is specific to that environment
The claude-opus-4-5-20251101 identifier is hardcoded and will need updating as models change
No verification or fallback if the model is unavailable to the current account

When to use it

Use it when you want to jump to Claude Opus 4.5 partway through a Claude Code session.

When not to use it

Avoid it outside Claude Code, or when you first need to confirm the model is available on your account.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score75/100

The skill only instructs the agent to run a slash command that switches the model to Claude Opus 4.5. It does not execute shell commands, access the network, manipulate files, or exfiltrate data, so there is no meaningful execution risk.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/download' --output '.skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/switch-to-claude-opus-4-5-model-mrzxuq7u/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
