Creating a Subagent

1. Ask user for:

   • Required tools (minimal set)
   • Model choice

2. Create the markdown file with:

   • Clear, specific description with trigger words
   • Focused system prompt

Best Practices

• Focused purpose: One clear responsibility per agent
• Specific triggers: Include action words in description ("Use when...", "Proactively...")
