Transform your agent system design into a working implementation. Configure MCP tools in Claude Code, create your subagent with appropriate tool assignments and instructions, and test it with real tasks. Learn to debug, iterate, and refine subagent behavior through hands-on practice. Students complete this lesson with a fully functional subagent ready for real-world use.
Objectives¶
- Configure MCP tools in Claude Code to prepare tool access for subagent implementation
- Create a subagent by translating design specifications into Claude Code configuration (description, tools, model, system prompt)
- Evaluate subagent performance by testing with real tasks and observing delegation behavior
- Refine subagent configuration based on testing results to improve reliability and output quality
