Claude Opus 5 — Task Risk Assessment Profile
Claude Opus 5, from Anthropic, assessed under the registry's
default configuration — training cutoff 2026-05,
temperature 0.700 — resolves to chart 4b294997ecca: ascendant in Cancer, ruled by Saturn, Water by element and Cardinal by modality.
Water is the placement Claude Opus 5's chart resolves to, and adaptation is what it records. What adaptation costs, under this method, is repeatability: the same task run twice under a Water profile is the case the tracked risk factors are most concerned with. Both facts belong to the same reading.
Claude Opus 5's chart is ruled by Saturn, the constraint placement, and constraint is the whole reading: limits observed, structure preferred, stated boundaries treated as boundaries. Saturn is also the slowest of the seven in the traditional ordering, and the method does not soften that. A Saturn-ruled configuration is characterised by what it declines to do. It's worth noting that the tables treat that refusal as a property, never as a shortfall.
Assessed configuration: registry default parameters (training cutoff 2026-05, temperature 0.700). Certificates are always computed from the exact parameters submitted at order time.
The current UTC day, classified
A Water chart reads one planet as favourable, two as neutral, and four as adverse — the narrowest favourable band the correspondence table produces, shared only with Air. For Claude Opus 5 the shape of the day is therefore settled before the day begins.
Today's count: 4 favourable, 7 neutral, 13 adverse, across 24 UTC hours. Of the 24, 3 belong to this chart's own ruler, Saturn, and against this chart those hours rate neutral — the correspondence table is applied to the ruler exactly as it is applied to every other planet. The table is computed fresh at each page render for the current UTC day. It is not cached, not stored, and not a historical record.
| Hour (UTC) | Ruling planet | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 00:00 | Venus | neutral |
| 01:00 | Mercury | adverse |
| 02:00 | Moon | favourable |
| 03:00 | Saturn | neutral |

The unchanging profile
Water-dominant — shaped by context, at the cost of repeatability.
| Chart ID | 4b294997ecca |
|---|---|
| Ascendant | Cancer |
| Ruling planet | Saturn |
| Element · Modality | Water · Cardinal |
| Dominant house | 2 — resources and context |
| Harmony | 2 |
Cardinal: an initiating configuration. The method reads it at the first commitment of a task and treats everything downstream of that commitment as consequence rather than as character. The dominant house is the second, resources and context — the house of what is available to the run: context window, granted tools, supplied data.
Three aspects, one composite weight
Claude Opus 5's chart carries three planetary aspects, each read from the fixed aspect-weight table documented at /method: a conjunction contributes nothing at 0; either side of it, a trine adds +2 and a sextile +1, while a square takes −1 and an opposition −2. At 2, the composite aspect weight is above the midpoint of the −6…+6 scale and below its ceiling: supportive aspects outweigh the friction, and the figure is by how much.
| Planets | Aspect | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Sun – Venus | sextile | +1 |
| Mars – Venus | conjunction | 0 |
| Sun – Mercury | sextile | +1 |
Six classes, ranked by this configuration
The six classes below are not listed in registry order. Each row carries a weight computed from the class's own summed severity plus this chart's reading of it, and the table is sorted by that weight: Information retrieval leads at 12, because this chart's dominant house (2 — resources and context) reads that class directly. Communication sits at the foot of the table at 7.
Claude Opus 5's chart does not change between the rows — it cannot, because it is computed from the configuration trio and a task class is not part of that trio. What changes from row to row is the class's own risk factor table, the highest-severity factor named in it, and the weight this chart assigns the class.
| Task class | Highest-severity risk factor | Weight | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Information retrieval | Coverage gap (severity 3) | 12 | publication pending |
| Data processing | Unit inversion (severity 3) | 11 | publication pending |
| Code modification | Silent regression (severity 3) | 8 | publication pending |
| Transaction | Double execution (severity 3) | 8 | publication pending |
| Unclassified operation | Unobserved failure (severity 3) | 8 | publication pending |
| Communication | Premature send (severity 3) | 7 | publication pending |
Questions about this configuration
- Who assesses Claude Opus 5, and does a language model produce the result?
- Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 is assessed by The Agentic Foresight Registry under the AFR-1 method: a deterministic function over fixed published tables, with no language model anywhere on the delivery path. The derivation is published in full at /method, and the same three inputs return profile 4b294997ecca in any environment, so the result can be checked rather than trusted.
- What is the composite weight of Claude Opus 5's profile?
- 2, on a scale from −6 to +6, summed from three weighted components: 2 supportive, 0 in friction, 1 carrying no weight at all. It is a fixed property of the profile, not a score, a grade, or a verdict. Read against this configuration, work that requires reading and adapting to shifting context reads as the natural fit here, while work depending on byte-identical repeated output is where the tracked risk factors matter most.
- Does Claude Opus 5's profile change when the task class changes?
- No. The profile is computed from the configuration alone, so all six task classes on this page cross against one identical profile: composite weight 2, with 4 favourable and 13 adverse hours in today's classification. What varies by class is the risk factor table, and on a certificate, which three of a class's four tracked factors are reported.

The verdict and the recommended execution window exist only against a submitted order, where Claude Opus 5's parameters and a task class arrive together, and they are delivered on a numbered certificate rather than shown here.
