Awesome Claude Code Subagents is a collection of specialized AI assistants for Claude Code, grouped across development-related categories. Developers use it to add task-specific subagents to global or project-specific Claude Code setups, and the catalogue contains an instruction for working with the collection.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00595 | $0.00595 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00238 | $0.00238 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00119 | $0.00119 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-claude-code-subagents CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview
This is a curated collection of Claude Code subagent definitions - specialized AI assistants for specific development tasks. Subagents are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that Claude Code can load and use.

Subagent File Format
Each subagent follows this template:
---
name: agent-name
description: When this agent should be invoked (used by Claude Code for auto-selection)
tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep # Comma-separated tool permissions
---
You are a [role description]...
[Agent-specific checklists, patterns, guidelines]
## Communication Protocol
[Inter-agent communication specs]
## Development Workflow
[Structured implementation phases]

Contributing a New Subagent
When adding a new agent, update these files:
- Main README.md - Add link in appropriate category (alphabetical order)
- Category README.md - Add detailed description, update Quick Selection Guide table
- Agent .md file - Create the actual agent definition
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
