What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents costly mistakes and inefficiencies by enforcing best practices for using subagents, the Task tool, and parallel execution, especially when dealing with Claude models.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subagent Model Enforcement: Automatically flags and prevents the use of forbidden Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) as subagents, recommending allowed alternatives.
  • Two-Tier Architecture Guidance: Reinforces the recommended orchestrator (Claude) and worker (subagent) roles.
  • Provider Selection: Guides the choice of the most suitable subagent provider (Kimi K2.5, GLM, MiniMax) based on task type.
  • Prompt Templating: Provides a standardized template for subagent prompts.
  • Parallel & Background Execution: Advises on efficient parallel task execution and the "fire-and-retrieve" pattern for background tasks to save tokens.

Quick Start

Use the subagent-best-practices skill to ensure all subagent calls avoid Claude models and use the recommended providers.
