When set, the subagent runs without loading the user's, project's, or local CLAUDE.md files, which normally supply project-specific instructions. Managed policy files still apply regardless of this setting.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives whoever defines an agent a way to run it with a clean slate, free of project-specific CLAUDE.md instructions that might not be relevant or could conflict with the subagent's own purpose, while still keeping organization-enforced policy in effect.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `omitClaudeMd`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
