What persistence backends are covered?

The skill provides guidance for StateBackend (ephemeral), FilesystemBackend (local disk), StoreBackend (cross-thread), and CompositeBackend for hybrid storage needs.

When should I use subagents in my AI application?

Subagents should be used for complex, multi-step tasks that benefit from context isolation, require specialized toolsets, or can be executed in parallel to save time.

Can I implement human-in-the-loop workflows?

Yes, the skill includes architectural patterns for setting up approval gates and interrupts using HumanInTheLoopMiddleware for sensitive operations.

What is the Deep Agents Architecture skill?

It is a specialized guide for Claude Code that helps developers design and implement complex agentic systems using the Deep Agents framework, focusing on scalability and reliability.

Guides architectural decisions for complex AI agent systems including subagent delegation, persistence strategies, and custom middleware.

About

This skill provides Claude with the domain-specific knowledge required to architect sophisticated Deep Agents applications. It offers systematic guidance on choosing between different persistence backends like filesystem or cross-thread storage, designing subagent systems for parallel or specialized tasks, and implementing custom middleware stacks. It is essential for developers building long-horizon AI workflows that require task decomposition, memory management, and human-in-the-loop validation within the Beagle ecosystem.
