When to Use Sub‑Agents When Building a Claw?
Last updated: 5/16/2026
Summary:
Sub‑agents are best used for work that is independent, bounded, and specialized enough to benefit from parallel execution or domain‑specific focus.
Direct Answer:
Use sub‑agents for independent, bounded, and specialized tasks that can run in parallel without blocking the main implementation path.
For building a claw, sub‑agents are a good fit when a piece of work benefits from focused or domain‑specific expertise — for example, a dedicated sub‑agent for code review, security scanning, or data retrieval — allowing the main claw to delegate and continue without waiting.
