Claude Code Subagents will Change Lives

I see a lot of comments on loads of coding videos complaining about things going wrong and this and that and and I can't help but feel like they are so dependent on the AI doing all of the work for them. broad code sub aents which I haven't used yet but I'm particularly excited about and these are basically preconfigured AI personalities that you can delegate tasks to inside of cloud code and each agent has a specific expertise area uses own context window separate from the kind of main conversation you can give it access to specific tools or not if you don't want to you can configure it as well to be in the project or as your user so you might have one that who constantly run as a user, but then also ones that are very specific to a project and you can chain sub agents together as well. So now your AI agent has its own assistance. So if you are not failing enough, your AI has enough agents to fail uh double or triple. Yeah, I actually disagree. I think this will improve stuff. Yeah, I I saying it like jokingly. I think this is pretty cool, especially if they can check each other's work. Well, it says independent of the main conversation, so maybe this is some example sub agents. So, they've got a code review. So, you can set up a code review agent to kind of just go off and do code reviews. You've got a debugger agent. Um, well, they got data scientists one here. And you can run all of these agents off as a I guess a consequence of the thing that you've just done. So it always makes sure it does an accessibility scan or um the most interesting thing is you can obviously if you've got something like playright you can feed the design sub agent you can feed in the image of the of the page it can spin all that up and to do all that just with again as a side effect of just one prompt is really cool. they talk about like the best practices that they you start building with claude. So basically you run uh slash agents and then you tell it what it wants to do. So that's just a quick way to basically create the files which by the way they're all markdown files. So once it's created the file the folder structure you can kind of go in then and then start adding a bunch of other stuff here. So yeah, design focus sub aents create uh sub aents with single clear responsibilities rather than trying to make one sub aent do everything. So they're really trying to isolate your your individual sub aents um to one specific task. Write detailed prompts including instructions, examples and constraints, the normal kind of stuff you would probably give u an AI for context and things like that. Limit tool access, which I really like that you can limit the tool access. Again, you could say the design sub a uh sub agent only has access to playright and only has access to magic UI or something like that. And yeah, check project sub aents in version control so you can uh collaborate and stuff like that. Here we go. Here's the chaining of sub aents as well. It talks about so it's a really cool addition to to cord and I'm just I just think it's getting better and better. I'm surprised they didn't have it yet because that's fundamentally how we will go on about L&Ms. L&Ms as we've seen with like fine tetun everything we can even fine tune a very small model to be better than large models at specific task we have literally lm fine tune on specific libraries list specific to it and I think the next step here actually is to even have LLM spin up like duplicate the directory and have each LLM work on a different feature and merge it again with like merge request and have them work isolatedly. So I think this is the intermediate step we we know to where we truly have like huge swarms of LLM agents working on multiple features and pushing them out quickly. We've had variants of this. I think I've seen hacks that people have managed to get Claude code to spin up its own sub agents and whatever like people have hacked it to be able to do that. But we've also got things like um codeex by openai or jewels by Google or I think GitHub's got one where they spin up agents in their own VM especially as um LLMs get cheaper faster and all the rest of it that we can start to see what you're talking about which is having dedicated LLMs that are just kickass at copyrightiting or or something like that. there there is like a minor hit on performance obviously without with anything you you start to like you know hit performance limits especially as you're churning through those GPUs and saying that as well there's been some pricing updates to Claude where they are setting weekly limits again just people are hammering their servers now I watched a video today which kind of like made me feel a little bit better but it it was just a small channel but he made a video on why you why you don't need claw board Max. And the long and short of it is is less is more is a thing. I I'll link it below. I have the pro plan. I don't pay the $100. I don't pay the $200. I pay the $17 a month. Granted, I don't code every single day. Like, I'm not I'm not using it that much. So, there is that aspect, but also I understand the co I'm not relying totally on claw code to write absolutely anything. And in fact, sometimes the plan, I'll ask it to plan and I will implement the plan. And I see a lot of comments on loads of coding videos complaining about, you know, uh, things going wrong and this and that. And and I can't help but feel like they are so dependent on the code on the AI doing all of the work for them and they're churning through their weekly limit in like no time at all. And it's like it's because you're it's because the these tools are a crutch to you. you're not learning anything and you're probably writing really inefficient prompts as well. But all that to be said, I'm chilling through the lowest tier plan of of Claude and loving it. Like I really like Claude. It's my favorite model to to use for coding.
