Comment on Claude Code has a hardcoded instruction telling Opus 5 not to use subagents

Comments

Anecdotal, I've been running my usual building skills which keep the main agent as the orchestrator and every step from execution, review, bug fix happens via subagents. So far in my 2 days of use of Opus 5 in medium and high effort modes, I haven't not observed it avoid using subagents.

I have also not observed it using less subagents than usual in regular chats. However, that could be due to limited use over a small timeframe.
