Fix Claude Opus 5 Yapping with /config output-style Concise
ShitShirtSteve · reddit · 2026-08-03
To address Claude Opus 5's overly verbose responses, a developer shared an effective workaround: using the /config output-style Concise command.
The author notes that adding rules in CLAUDE.md to limit verbosity often fails because the file isn't strictly enforced. However, this specific configuration command successfully makes Opus 5 communicate more like version 4.6, resulting in shorter sentences, clearer points, and less made-up jargon.
