What
Claude Code gives Claude written guidance on how to use subagents, helpers it can start to work on part of a task. The advice on briefing them now ends with "it is your first lever on every cost above" instead of "it is your one lever on every cost above".
Why
This is a small wording change. It no longer presents the brief as the only way to control those costs, only as the first one.
