Claude Subagent Architect FAQs

Question 1

Why should I use subagents instead of the main agent?

Accepted Answer

Subagents prevent 'context pollution,' where the main conversation becomes too large or unfocused. This isolation ensures the main agent stays on track while the subagent handles deep analysis or repetitive tasks.

Question 2

Where are these subagent files stored?

Accepted Answer

Subagents are stored as markdown files in the .claude/agents/ directory for project-specific tasks, or in ~/.claude/agents/ for global, user-level capabilities.

Question 3

What is a Claude Code subagent?

Accepted Answer

A subagent is a specialized worker with its own isolated context window, specific toolset, and system prompt designed to handle a single, focused responsibility independently of the main conversation.

Question 4

How does the TDD mapping work for subagents?

Accepted Answer

The workflow follows a RED phase (testing the task without an agent to identify issues), a GREEN phase (writing the agent file to solve those issues), and a REFACTOR phase (optimizing tools and prompts).

Question 5

Can subagents be triggered automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by including 'Use proactively when...' in the agent's description field, Claude Code can learn to automatically invoke the specialized subagent when specific conditions are met.
