One mode builds those summaries from the whole conversation. Inside a claude.ai chat, Claude Code now skips that mode, because a claude.ai chat never sends the whole conversation. The only exception is when the mode was set by an override. Claude Code records the reason for skipping once.\n\n**Why**\n\nSubagents running inside a claude.ai chat get only short summaries.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
