When should I use a subagent versus a workflow orchestrator?

Use a subagent for single jobs with a specific output, like code reviews or bug diagnosis. Use an orchestrator for multi-phase workflows that require planning, dispatching multiple tasks, and aggregating results.

What is the 'attention budget' principle mentioned in the skill?

It treats model tokens and context as a scarce resource, prioritizing high-signal prompts and standalone instructions over long, verbose prose to maintain model focus and reliability.

Can subagents spawn other subagents in Claude Code?

No, subagents are restricted from spawning other subagents. Multi-level coordination must be handled by a top-level workflow orchestrator using the Task tool.

How does this skill prevent 'routing drift' when updating agents?

It provides a strict update procedure that requires loading full context of the agent, its supporting files, and any parent orchestrators before making changes to ensure consistency.

Design and implement specialized Claude Code subagents and multi-phase workflow orchestrators.

The Write Agent skill provides a comprehensive framework for creating, refactoring, and managing custom AI agents within the Claude Code environment. It helps developers navigate the architectural decision between single-purpose subagents for tasks like code review and complex workflow orchestrators for multi-step feature development. By enforcing principles like token efficiency, clear output contracts, and robust delegation triggers, this skill ensures that custom agents remain reliable, focused, and maintainable as repository complexity grows.
