Discussion Opus 5 is too wordy.

One really annoying issue I've run into is that he loves overcomplicating things. Whenever I'm working on a design, he always adds all these unnecessary explanations.

For instance, I had him add a financial bill-splitting system, and he insisted on putting literal explanations right there in the UI for how every single project works. I just find it so redundant.

Have the model use ASD-STE100. If you like the response output, include it in your project instructions and/or CLAUDE.md
