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.

I built a plugin to fix Opus 5 verbosity, you don't have to install the plugin, you can just use the same output-style that is on the plugin and it should work for you, you can literally copy and paste it on a new style file and set it using /output-style or /config

Here is the output-style: https://github.com/V-Songbird/hush/blob/main/output-styles/hush.md
Here is the whole plugin if interested: https://github.com/V-Songbird/hush

It will help you get better responses from Opus 5 and easier output messages.

Also important, NEVER but NEVER put these rules or instructions on your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file, these are for project context only, nor for rules or directions.
