Sorry folks, this is a rollout artifact, we needed a way to turn this off remotely via feature flags if it broke something, and with telemetry off you don't get those. It's already been fixed as part of v2.1.281 releasing today.
The mod is source available here: <a href="https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods/agents-md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods/age...
Apologies again folks, this was a fully human error on my part - I should've found a better way to launch with a kill-switch.

  Really loved this Tibo-level responsiveness, if Anthropic can keep it up with this level of service, I am pretty sure a lot of people will just ditch their ChatGPT subscription and just move to Claude.

    Because they respond to HN threads about their products? Which are likely Claude hooks monitoring for activity in the first place? Come on...
    At least make an argument for switching vendors based on the quality or price of their service.

    After I was mildly disappointed with GPT-6 Sol and Luna not improving intelligence and only cutting the price, I'm running Opus 5.5 today.
    After the last month or so in the Codex app, I was pleased with the Claude app.
    It might be a case of the grass always being greener on the other side, but this is what stands out:
    After 3-4 hours of usage, the weekly usage limit moved by only 1%.
    Compared to Astra where I can watch the limit draining live, this is a great improvement.
    I'd estimate it 3x cheaper, and that's with a 450k context limit instead of the 258k in Codex.
    So far Opus 5.5 appears less prone to stopping for no apparent reason at checkpoints in the middle of a longer task.
    It doesn't open an internal browser with a useless comparison page, where it then proceeds to add notes despite no one having asked for it.
    It is a breath of fresh air: I get the response in the chat, while the Codex app recently loves randomly opening artifacts instead.
    Opus 5.5 xhigh made great progress on the task, more so than Astra High, but that could be random chance.
    Oh, and the 'Auto' mode actually works and does not force me to instead run 'Full access' like in the Codex app, lest it blocks even 'git push'.

    Don’t make too quick snap judgements. “Honeymooning”, or giving new subscriptions / upgrades extra usage or “juice” is pretty common industry practice amongst SaaS “growth hacking” for years. Sadly.
