Guide for creating AI subagents with isolated context for complex multi-step workflows. Use when users want to create a subagent, specialized agent, verifier, debugger, or orchestrator that requires isolated context and deep specialization. Works with any agent that supports subagent delegation. Triggers on "create subagent", "new agent", "specialized assistant", "create verifier". Do NOT use for Cursor-specific subagents (use cursor-subagent-creator instead).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Subagent Creator

This skill provides guidance for creating effective, agent-agnostic subagents.

## What are Subagents?

Subagents are specialized assistants that an AI agent can delegate tasks to. Characteristics:

- **Isolated context**: Each subagent has its own context window
- **Parallel execution**: Multiple subagents can run simultaneously
- **Specialization**: Configured with specific prompts and expertise
- **Reusable**: Defined once, used in multiple contexts

### When to Use Subagents vs Skills

```
Is the task complex with multiple steps?
├─ YES → Does it require isolated context?
│         ├─ YES → Use SUBAGENT
│         └─ NO → Use SKILL
│
└─ NO → Use SKILL
```

**Use Subagents for:**

- Complex workflows requiring isolated context
- Long-running tasks that benefit from specialization
- Verification and auditing (independent perspective)
- Parallel workstreams

**Use Skills for:**

- Quick, one-off actions
- Domain knowledge without context isolation
- Reusable procedures that don't need isolation

## Subagent Structure

A subagent is typically a markdown file with frontmatter metadata:

```markdown
---
name: agent-name
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tech-leads-club/agent-skills/subagent-creator@sha256:909d28c6579d95fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260226.8dca459, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
