subagents are one of claude code's most underused features
they let you spawn independent claude instances that work in parallel on different parts of your codebase
think of it like hiring multiple junior devs at once
why subagents matter
while one agent explores your api endpoints, another can review test coverage, and a third can check documentation
all at the same time
the task tool
use the task tool to launch specialized agents:
- bash agent for terminal operations
- explore agent for codebase analysis
- general-purpose agent for complex tasks
each runs independently with its own context
perfect for
- exploring large codebases
- parallel research tasks
- running multiple checks simultaneously
- delegating specific subtasks
subagents multiply your productivity by letting you work on multiple things without losing focus on your main task
