Claude Code Adds Concise Output Style Option
Anthropic enables shorter responses that lead with results while providing details on request.
TLDR
ClaudeDevs posted that Claude Code now supports a Concise output style. The mode leads with the result and keeps replies short while supplying full details when requested. It is toggled in /config or via the outputStyle key in settings.json. Several developers reacted positively, calling the update long overdue because earlier models produced verbose answers. One user highlighted that the command affects only the active project rather than global settings.

ClaudeDevs@ClaudeDevsYou can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise. Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask. Turn it on in /config → Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

TT Theo - t3.gg@theoHeads up: the /config command only edits the claude config for THE CURRENT PROJECT, NOT your global config. The UI really should indicate this, super annoying. https://twitter.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2090245922685063634

CH Chubby♨️@kimmonismusLong overdue. Opus 5 is too verbose. At least it looks like Anthropic starts to listen. https://twitter.com/claudedevs/status/2090245922685063634
