What

A forked agent is a helper agent that starts from a copy of the main conversation. The advisor is an experimental tool that lets Claude consult a second model. When the advisor is enabled, Claude Code now adds a hidden message saying "Never consult the advisor tool." to each forked agent's conversation, once only. Forks made for compaction (shrinking the conversation to save space) are left out.

The advisor is enabled with the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_ADVISOR_TOOL, or by a remote switch that is off unless it is switched on remotely.

Why

This stops forked agents from making extra advisor calls of their own.
