Workflow
1. User: "Which agent should I use for X?"
2. Claude:
- Analyze current directory (glob for file types)
- Check for config files (package.json, pyproject.toml, etc.)
- Consider user's stated task
- Run /agents to see full list
3. Output:
PRIMARY: [agent-name] - [why]
SECONDARY: [agent-name] - [optional, if relevant]
To launch: Use Task tool with subagent_type="[agent-name]"
Tips
- Prefer specialized experts over general-purpose for focused tasks
- Suggest parallel execution when agents work on independent concerns
- Maximum 2-3 agents per task - don't over-recommend
- Always run
/agents first to see what's currently available
