This makes the subagent run without the user's, project's, or local CLAUDE.md instruction files loaded, though managed policy files are still applied. It's meant for subagents whose delegation prompt already contains everything they need.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets subagents skip loading instruction files that aren't relevant to their specific task, avoiding unnecessary or potentially conflicting context while still respecting any organization-managed policy.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `omitClaudeMd`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
