Boris Cherny8/ Use Subagents

When this pattern helps
Use this when work can be split into independent tasks with clear boundaries. Keep shared-file ownership explicit and require a review step before combining results; parallelism is not automatically faster when tasks depend on one another.
适合可以拆成相互独立子任务的工作。先划清文件与任务边界,再约定合并前的复核步骤;任务之间高度依赖时,并行未必更快。
a. Append "use subagents" to any request where you want Claude to throw more compute at the problem.
b. Offload individual tasks to subagents to keep your main agent's context window clean and focused.
c. Route permission requests to Opus 4.5 via a hook — let it scan for attacks and auto-approve the safe ones. See: Hooks Docs
