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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00185 | $0.03185 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00074 | $0.01274 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00637 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00318 |
Grade A, and why
subagent-best-practices 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SubAgent Best Practices
Claude Code の agents/*.md ファイルで SubAgent を正しく定義するための実践ガイド。
チーム設計・通信プロトコル・タスク管理は agent-team-guide スキルを参照。
このスキルは「個別 SubAgent の定義品質」に特化している。
SubAgent とは
SubAgent は agents/*.md ファイルで定義された特化型エージェント。
my-skill/
└── agents/
├── researcher.md ← SubAgent 定義
├── writer.md
└── context-manager.md
Claude Code は agents/*.md を自動認識し、subagent_type: "my-skill:researcher" で起動できる。
SubAgent は親のコンテキストを持たない。起動時のプロンプトが唯一の情報源。
subagent_type の種類
| 値 | 動作 |
|---|---|
"my-skill:researcher" |
agents/researcher.md を読んで起動 |
"general-purpose" |
agents/*.md を使わず、プロンプトでロールを定義 |
"Explore" |
コードベース探索に特化した組み込みタイプ |

What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

subagent-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository sean-sunagaku/claude-code-plugin (38 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 185 tokens to every session and 3,185 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
