Master subagent execution from single-agent workflows to complex multi-agent orchestration. Learn three activation methods (explicit invocation, automatic delegation, chaining), understand when multiple agents outperform single-agent solutions, and apply orchestration patterns including sequential, parallel, and hybrid execution with hooks for reliable autonomous workflow behavior.
Objectives¶
- Execute Claude Code subagents using three activation methods (explicit invocation, automatic delegation, chaining) to accomplish single-task workflows
- Evaluate when to use multiple specialized agents versus a single agent based on workflow complexity and context isolation needs
- Design a multi-agent workflow using sequential, parallel, or hybrid orchestration patterns for a complex business use case
- Implement hooks (guardrails, logging, human-in-the-loop) to ensure reliable multi-agent system behavior
