Why use a subagent instead of the main Claude instance?

Subagents help manage context limits by offloading complex tasks, allow for specialized role-playing, and can use different models (like Haiku) to save on costs for simple tasks.

Can I control which tools a subagent can access?

Yes, you can define specific tool access for each subagent, such as restricting them to read-only operations or allowing full Bash and file system access.

What is a Claude Code subagent?

A subagent is a specialized AI instance within Claude Code that operates with its own system prompt, model configuration, and tool permissions to handle specific tasks independently.

Where are these subagent configurations stored?

Subagents are stored as Markdown files either at the project level in .claude/agents/ or globally for the user in ~/.claude/agents/.

How does Claude know when to use a subagent?

Subagents are triggered either by explicit user request or automatically via keywords and role descriptions defined in the subagent's frontmatter.

生产力与工作流

Automates the creation of specialized AI subagents with custom roles, isolated contexts, and specific tool permissions to streamline complex workflows.

The Subagent Architect skill empowers developers to decompose complex projects by creating task-specific AI agents within the Claude Code environment. By providing a structured framework for defining roles—such as code reviewers, testing specialists, or architecture advisors—it enables isolated execution environments that prevent context bloat and improve task accuracy. The skill supports both a guided interactive mode for manual configuration and an automatic mode that generates agents based on recent workflow patterns, managing everything from model selection to granular tool permissions across project-level or global scopes.
