It's also now accepted as an optional field in the schema used for launching agents\/tasks.\n\n**Why**\n\nAn `omitClaudeMd` option implies subagents can now be launched without the project's `CLAUDE.md` file (a file of project-specific instructions for Claude) being included in their context, giving more control over what a spawned agent sees.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `omitClaudeMd`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
