Subagents are one of the most powerful features in Claude Code, and most people barely scratch the surface.
In this video I break down exactly what a subagent is, how it keeps your main context clean, when you actually need one versus when you don’t, and how to build your own custom agents that get invoked automatically.
By the end you’ll know how to delegate work to a team of cheap specialist agents while one smart model runs the show, saving you money and getting better results.
