You cannot control the effort setting sub-agents use and you also cannot use /effort max as a default (outside of using an alias).

export CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=max

Thank you!

Worth mentioning that setting this via effortLevel in .claude/settings.json does not work. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/35904

Does that apply to subagents?
