The most useful subagent I have is tuned to aggressively detect bs. It independently validates whether things claimed to be done were, in fact, done, and calls the other agents out on anything they fudged. I named her Karen. Answer from ZentalonsMom on reddit.com

The email agent could then spin off multiple search subagents in parallel—each running different queries against your email history—and have them return only the relevant excerpts rather than full email threads. When agents are running for long periods of time, context maintenance becomes critical. The Claude Agent SDK’s compact feature automatically summarizes previous messages when the context limit approaches, so your agent won’t run out of context. This is built on Claude Code...

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: What's your best way to use Sub-agents in Claude Code so far?
July 31, 2025 -

Hey,

I wonder how you have made Subagents work for your most effectively yet in Claude Code. I feel like (as always) there have quickly been tons of repos with 50+ Subagents which was kind of similar when RooCode introduced their Custom modes a few months back.

After some first tests people seem to realize that it's not really effective to have just tons of them with some basic instructions and hope they do wonders.

So my question is: What works best for you? What Sub-agents have brought you real improvements so far?

The best things I can currently think of are very project specific. But I'm creating a little Task/Project management system for Claude Code (Simone on Github) and I wonder which more generic agents would work.

Keen to hear what works for you!

Cheers,
Helmi

P.S.: There's also an Issue on Github if you want to chime in there: Link

Subagents are lightweight instances of Claude Code that can run inside of tasks, and each agent has its own context window. It appears that the parallelism level is capped at 10, but you can ask Claude Code to run more tasks, it will just queue them up. The Task Tool can support large numbers of tasks, as demonstrated by the 100-task example.
