What
Claude Code sends usage data, called telemetry, about background tasks. For tasks that are local subagents (helper agents running on your machine), it now also records:
the agent's type
whether it is a built-in agent
whether it came from a forked skill
whether the main conversation started it directly
whether it was launched with default settings and no working folder of its own
Why
It shows what Anthropic measures about how subagents are launched.
