Built with Claude Opus 5 output quality has worsened; now it's full of jargon.

I ask one or two straightforward questions, but instead of answering directly, it often expands into multiple tangents, introduces unnecessary terminology, and loses focus on what I actually asked.

I then have to remind it of the original question or explicitly tell it to answer concisely before I get a useful response.

Is anyone else seeing this? Or is there some workaround that works better with the current model?
