Subagents Guide

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilizing Claude Code's subagent system. It helps you effectively delegate complex, task-specific workflows to specialized AI assistants, ensuring context preservation, focused expertise, and granular permission control, ultimately streamlining your development process.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Context Isolation: Subagents operate with separate contexts, preventing main conversation pollution and improving focus.
• Customizable Expertise: Define subagents with tailored system prompts and specific tool access for domain-tuned performance.
• Use Case: When tackling a multi-faceted project like a full-stack feature implementation, you can delegate backend work to a backend-developer subagent and frontend work to a frontend-ui-developer subagent, allowing each specialist to work efficiently without interfering with the main task's context.

Quick Start

Open the interactive subagents interface

/agents

Or create a project-scoped subagent manually

mkdir -p .claude/agents

Then create a Markdown file like .claude/agents/code-reviewer.md
