Practical Tips for Better Optimization
The article offers 14 practical tips to help optimize AI agents in Claude Code. These tips are designed to enhance the efficiency and security of sub-agents.
Creating and Configuring Sub-Agents
Before diving into the tips, it is essential to understand what an agent is and how to create one in Claude Code. A sub-agent is essentially a Markdown file enriched with YAML metadata, where only the name and description are required.
To illustrate how agents work in Claude Code, a custom code review agent example is used. This agent examines the source code according to specific criteria.
The quickest way to create a sub-agent is to use the built-in command /agents. This command provides a guided setup and can even generate the necessary prompt for you. It is also possible to define sub-agents online for a single session.
