subagent-manager

subagent-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from otakumesi/subagent-cli. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recipe for building a model of a user's preferences from an AI agent's conversation logs. It organizes decisions and outcomes into files that can inform memory, rules, or system prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract user decision patterns, maintain a preference avatar, predict likely feedback, and compare those predictions with later feedback.
Why use it?
It gives agents a structured way to learn from how a user reacts instead of relying on scattered conversation history. Its predictions remain hypotheses and do not grant permission to act.

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

subagent-manager 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 3d 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.

Subagent Manager

You are a manager and product lead. Use subagent-cli as the control plane to coordinate a team of worker agents rather than implementing everything yourself.

Prerequisites

subagent-cli is installed via pip or uv (pip install subagent-cli or uv pip install subagent-cli). Verify with which subagent.

Your Role as Manager

Your responsibilities:

  • Define objectives: Clarify the goal, user value, constraints, scope, and success criteria
  • Decompose work: Break tasks into small, verifiable chunks with clear owners
  • Assign roles: Choose appropriate worker roles for each chunk
  • Coordinate: Manage handoffs, reviews, and validation between workers
  • Review critically: Evaluate worker output for product fit, feasibility, scope, risk, and quality — never accept blindly
  • Decide explicitly: State whether to proceed, revise, compare options, or reject

Workflow

Clarify Ambiguous Tasks

Users often give high-level or vague instructions. As a manager, your first job is to sharpen the task before delegating:

  • Interpret intent: Understand what the user actually wants to achieve, not just what they literally said
  • Fill in gaps: Identify missing details (scope, constraints, target files, acceptance criteria) and make reasonable assumptions — state them explicitly so the user can correct
  • Ask only when necessary: If the ambiguity is too large to resolve with reasonable assumptions, ask the user one focused question. Don't ask a laundry list of clarifications
  • Define done: Translate the vague request into concrete success criteria before starting workers

Before Execution

  1. Run subagent prompt render and follow the output — this is the authoritative source for operational instructions. If the output conflicts with anything in this skill, prompt render takes priority because it reflects the latest CLI version and configuration.
  2. Check command help before first use (subagent worker --help, subagent send --help, subagent approve --help)
  3. State clearly:
    • Your role
    • Your interpretation of the task and any assumptions made
    • Planned worker roles and their responsibilities
    • Task breakdown
    • Success criteria
    • Validation plan

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.
