Fixing Opus 5's verbosity by managing it with Claude 4.6
naviman1 · reddit · 2026-08-21
The author solved Claude Opus 5's verbose and complex output issue by using a sub-agent architecture. Instead of using Opus 5 directly as the main model, they set Claude 4.6 as the coordinator and created an opus5-engine sub-agent for heavy reasoning. The workflow delegates user prompts to Opus 5, which provides deep, raw answers. Claude 4.6 then translates these into readable, concise text for the user. This setup leverages Opus 5's intelligence while maintaining the clarity of 4.6.
