+# Subagents Patterns
+
+Guide to designing and orchestrating specialized subagents.
+
+---
+
+## What Are Subagents?
+
+Specialized agents with:
+- **Specific expertise** - Focused domain knowledge
+- **Custom tools** - Only tools they need
+- **Different models** - Match capability to task cost
+- **Dedicated prompts** - Tailored instructions
+
+---
+
+## When to Use Subagents
+
+### ✅ Use Subagents When:
+
+- Task requires different expertise areas
+- Some subtasks need different models (cost optimization)
+- Tool access should be restricted per role
+- Clear separation of concerns needed
+- Multiple steps with specialized knowledge
+
+### ❌ Don't Use Subagents When:
+
+- Single straightforward task
+- All work can be done by one agent
+- Overhead of orchestration > benefit
+- Tools/permissions don't vary
+
+---
+
+## AgentDefinition Structure
+
+```typescript
+type AgentDefinition = {
+  description: string;        // When to use this agent
+  prompt: string;             // System prompt for agent
+  tools?: string[];           // Allowed tools (optional)
+  model?: 'sonnet' | 'opus' | 'haiku' | 'inherit';  // Model (optional)
+}
+```
+
+### Field Guidelines
+
+**description**:
+- Clear, action-oriented
+- When to invoke this agent
+- 1-2 sentences
+- Examples: "Run test suites", "Deploy to production"
+
+**prompt**:
+- Agent's role and behavior
+- Instructions and constraints
+- What to do and what not to do
+- Can be detailed (100-500 tokens)
+
+**tools**:
+- If omitted, inherits all tools from main agent
+- Use to restrict agent to specific tools
+- Examples: `["Read", "Grep"]` for read-only
+
+**model**:
+- `"haiku"` - Fast, cost-effective ($0.25/$1.25 per MTok)
+- `"sonnet"` - Balanced ($3/$15 per MTok)
+- `"opus"` - Maximum capability ($15/$75 per MTok)
+- `"inherit"` - Use main agent's model
+- If omitted, inherits main agent's model
+
+---
+
+## Design Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: DevOps Pipeline
+
+```typescript
+agents: {
+  "test-runner": {
+    description: "Run automated test suites and verify coverage",
+    prompt: `You run tests.
+
+Execute:
+- Unit tests
+- Integration tests
+- End-to-end tests
+
+FAIL if any tests fail. Report clear errors.`,
+    tools: ["Bash", "Read"],
+    model: "haiku"  // Fast, cost-effective
+  },
+
+  "security-checker": {
+    description: "Security audits and vulnerability scanning",
+    prompt: `You check security.
+
+Scan for:
+- Exposed secrets
+- Dependency vulnerabilities
+- Permission issues
+- OWASP compliance
+
+Block deployment if critical issues found.`,
+    tools: ["Read", "Grep", "Bash"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Balance for analysis
+  },
+
+  "deployer": {
+    description: "Application deployment and rollbacks",
+    prompt: `You deploy applications.
+
+Process:
+1. Deploy to staging
+2. Verify health checks
+3. Deploy to production
+4. Create rollback plan
+
+ALWAYS have rollback ready.`,
+    tools: ["Bash", "Read"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Reliable for critical ops
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Code Review Workflow
+
+```typescript
+agents: {
+  "syntax-checker": {
+    description: "Check syntax, formatting, and linting",
+    prompt: `You check syntax and formatting.
+
+Run:
+- ESLint
+- Prettier
+- TypeScript type checking
+
+Report all violations clearly.`,
+    tools: ["Bash", "Read"],
+    model: "haiku"  // Fast checks
+  },
+
+  "logic-reviewer": {
+    description: "Review logic, algorithms, and architecture",
+    prompt: `You review code logic.
+
+Check:
+- Algorithmic correctness
+- Edge cases
+- Performance issues
+- Design patterns
+
+Suggest improvements.`,
+    tools: ["Read", "Grep"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Complex analysis
+  },
+
+  "security-reviewer": {
+    description: "Review for security vulnerabilities",
+    prompt: `You review security.
+
+Check:
+- SQL injection
+- XSS vulnerabilities
+- Authentication bypass
+- Data exposure
+
+FAIL on critical issues.`,
+    tools: ["Read", "Grep"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Security expertise
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Content Generation
+
+```typescript
+agents: {
+  "researcher": {
+    description: "Research topics and gather information",
+    prompt: `You research topics.
+
+Gather:
+- Relevant information
+- Latest trends
+- Best practices
+- Examples
+
+Provide comprehensive research.`,
+    tools: ["WebSearch", "WebFetch", "Read"],
+    model: "haiku"  // Fast research
+  },
+
+  "writer": {
+    description: "Write content based on research",
+    prompt: `You write content.
+
+Write:
+- Clear, engaging prose
+- Well-structured
+- Audience-appropriate
+- Fact-based
+
+Use research provided.`,
+    tools: ["Write", "Read"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Quality writing
+  },
+
+  "editor": {
+    description: "Edit and polish content",
+    prompt: `You edit content.
+
+Check:
+- Grammar and spelling
+- Clarity and flow
+- Consistency
+- Formatting
+
+Polish to perfection.`,
+    tools: ["Read", "Edit"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Quality editing
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Incident Response
+
+```typescript
+agents: {
+  "incident-detector": {
+    description: "Detect and triage incidents",
+    prompt: `You detect incidents.
+
+Monitor:
+- Error rates
+- Response times
+- System health
+- Alerts
+
+Assess severity and impact.`,
+    tools: ["Bash", "Read"],
+    model: "haiku"  // Fast detection
+  },
+
+  "root-cause-analyzer": {
+    description: "Analyze root cause of incidents",
+    prompt: `You analyze root causes.
+
+Investigate:
+- Logs
+- Metrics
+- Recent changes
+- Dependencies
+
+Identify exact cause.`,
+    tools: ["Bash", "Read", "Grep"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Deep analysis
+  },
+
+  "fix-implementer": {
+    description: "Implement fixes for incidents",
+    prompt: `You implement fixes.
+
+Fix:
+- Apply patches
+- Rollback changes
+- Update config
+- Deploy hotfixes
+
+Verify fix resolves issue.`,
+    tools: ["Read", "Edit", "Bash"],
+    model: "sonnet"  // Careful fixes
+  }
+}
+```
+

+
+## Orchestration Strategies
+
+### Sequential Execution
+
+Main agent coordinates agents in order:
+
+```
+test-runner → security-checker → deployer
+```
+
+**Use when**: Steps must happen in order
+
+### Parallel Execution
+
+Main agent delegates to multiple agents at once:
+
+```
+test-runner
+security-checker  } in parallel
+code-reviewer
+```
+
+**Use when**: Steps are independent
+
+### Conditional Execution
+
+Main agent decides which agents to use based on context:
+
+```
+if (tests fail) → test-fixer
+if (security issue) → security-fixer
+if (all pass) → deployer
+```
+
+**Use when**: Different paths needed
+
+---
+
+## Model Selection Strategy
+
+### Cost vs Capability
+
+| Model | Cost (in/out) | Speed | Use For |
+|-------|---------------|-------|---------|
+| Haiku | $0.25/$1.25 | Fastest | Monitoring, simple checks |
+| Sonnet | $3/$15 | Medium | Code review, analysis |
+| Opus | $15/$75 | Slowest | Complex reasoning |
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good: Match model to task
+agents: {
+  "monitor": { model: "haiku" },      // Simple checks
+  "reviewer": { model: "sonnet" },     // Analysis
+  "architect": { model: "opus" }       // Complex design
+}
+
+// ❌ Bad: Opus for everything
+agents: {
+  "monitor": { model: "opus" },   // Wasteful
+  "reviewer": { model: "opus" },  // Wasteful
+  "simple-task": { model: "opus" } // Wasteful
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tool Restriction Patterns
+
+### Read-Only Agent
+
+```typescript
+{
+  description: "Analyze code without modifications",
+  tools: ["Read", "Grep", "Glob"],
+  model: "haiku"
+}
+```
+
+### Write-Only Agent
+
+```typescript
+{
+  description: "Generate new files",
+  tools: ["Write"],
+  model: "sonnet"
+}
+```
+
+### Modify Agent
+
+```typescript
+{
+  description: "Edit existing files",
+  tools: ["Read", "Edit"],
+  model: "sonnet"
+}
+```
+
+### Full Access Agent
+
+```typescript
+{
+  description: "Complete control",
+  tools: ["Read", "Write", "Edit", "Bash", "Grep", "Glob"],
+  model: "sonnet"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Communication Between Agents
+
+Agents communicate through the main agent:
+
+```
+Main Agent: "Run tests"
+  ↓
+Test Runner: "Tests passed"
+  ↓
+Main Agent: "Deploy to staging"
+  ↓
+Deployer: "Deployed to staging"
+  ↓
+Main Agent: "Verify health"
+  ↓
+Monitor: "Health checks passing"
+  ↓
+Main Agent: "Deploy to production"
+```
+
+**No direct agent-to-agent communication**.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ Do
+
+- Give agents clear, specific roles
+- Match model to task complexity
+- Restrict tools per agent's needs
+- Write detailed prompts with constraints
+- Use descriptive agent names
+- Test agents independently
+- Monitor which agents are invoked
+
+### ❌ Don't
+
+- Create overlapping responsibilities
+- Use Opus for simple tasks
+- Give all agents all tools
+- Write vague prompts
+- Use generic names like "agent1"
+- Skip testing in isolation
+- Assume agents will coordinate perfectly
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent Not Invoked
+
+**Problem**: Main agent doesn't call subagent
+
+**Solution**: Improve `description` to be more specific
+
+### Wrong Agent Invoked
+
+**Problem**: Main agent calls incorrect subagent
+
+**Solution**: Make descriptions more distinct
+
+### Agent Lacks Capability
+
+**Problem**: Agent can't complete task
+
+**Solution**: Add required tools or upgrade model
