Sub-Agent Workflow Patterns

About

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing sub-agent patterns within Claude Code to maintain context hygiene and improve session efficiency. It guides users through creating custom agents, configuring tool permissions to avoid command approval fatigue, and utilizing built-in specialists like Explore and Plan. By isolating verbose operations—such as deployments, audits, or parallel research—into separate context windows, users can prevent token bloat and maintain high-quality reasoning in long-running development sessions.
