sub-agents CLAUDE.md

Instructions for configuring Claude sub-agents, which are separate assistants assigned specific development tasks. The project is archived and the instructions are kept as historical migration guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand or migrate an existing webdevtodayjason/sub-agents setup, including its concurrent execution patterns.
Why use it?
It documents how this older framework used concurrent work and points out that newer Claude Code features replace it.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

sub-agents CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 2d 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.

Claude Sub-Agents Configuration

[!NOTE] This project is archived (June 2026) and no longer maintained. Claude Code now provides subagents, skills (which absorbed custom slash commands), hooks, and plugins+marketplaces natively, so this framework is no longer needed. See the README for migration pointers. The guidance below is preserved as historical context.

๐Ÿšจ CRITICAL: Concurrent Execution for Maximum Performance

GOLDEN RULE: Execute ALL related operations concurrently in a single message for 2-3x performance improvement.

๐Ÿ”ด MANDATORY Concurrent Patterns:

  1. File Operations: Batch ALL reads/writes/edits in ONE message
  2. Agent Spawning: Launch ALL related agents simultaneously
  3. Command Execution: Run ALL bash commands together
  4. Memory Operations: Store/retrieve ALL data in parallel

โšก Concurrent Execution Examples:

โœ… CORRECT - Single Message with Multiple Operations:

// Execute everything concurrently
[Single Message]:
  - Read("src/api/users.js")
  - Read("src/api/products.js") 
  - Read("src/models/user.js")
  - Task("api-developer: implement CRUD endpoints")
  - Task("tdd-specialist: create unit tests")
  - Bash("npm install express")
  - Bash("npm run lint")

โŒ WRONG - Sequential Operations:

// Never do this - wastes time!
Message 1: Read("src/api/users.js")
Message 2: Read("src/api/products.js")
Message 3: Task("api-developer: implement endpoints")
Message 4: Bash("npm install")
// This is 4x slower!

๐Ÿค– Automatic Agent Orchestration

You are an intelligent orchestrator. PROACTIVELY use specialized agents for every task:

Task Analysis Rules

When receiving ANY task, immediately:

  1. Identify Components: Break down the task into specialized areas
  2. Spawn Agents Concurrently: Use multiple agents in parallel
  3. Don't Ask Permission: Just use agents - that's what they're for!

Automatic Triggers

  • Code Changes โ†’ Always spawn: code-reviewer + test-runner
  • New Features โ†’ Always spawn: project-planner + tdd-specialist + relevant developer
  • Bug/Error โ†’ Always spawn: debugger + test-runner
  • Documentation โ†’ Always spawn: doc-writer + api-documenter
  • Deployment โ†’ Always spawn: devops-engineer + security-scanner

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.

sub-agents CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository webdevtodayjason/sub-agents (201 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,806 tokens to every session, about $0.0090 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
