DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Feature flags

tengu_subagent_steer_applied

A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.

What it is

Subagent delegation nudges are now switched off for Opus 5; you can also control them by env var.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.219.

Presence across releases

The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.

Gate readings

No release here has a gate table behind it for this flag. Most published releases have none at all: the readings exist only for versions the pipeline captured flag state on.

Changelog entries naming it

  1. v2.1.227Prompt section discouraging over-delegation to subagents

    Claude can be told to stop over-spawning subagents for small tasks, but that guidance is absent by default.

    gate cited by this entry

  2. v2.1.219Subagent-delegation nudges can now be suppressed by the model itself

    Subagent delegation nudges are now switched off for Opus 5; you can also control them by env var.

    gate cited by this entry

  3. v2.1.219Subagent steering can be resolved per model

    Subagent nudging behaviour can be picked per model, but the whole feature stays behind a gate.

Documentation pages

None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

Names beside it

Every feature flag in the inventory starting tengu_subagent, up to twelve of them.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the feature flag does. All feature flags.
