These are good points and I generally agree with you. My guess is that, as I understand it, Anthropic’s belief is that subagents are usually not the proper tool for most tasks. In their guides and videos about proper use of subagents, they seem to really try to steer you toward “workflows” rather than subagents. Maybe it’s time they rethink the overall strategy so that each new concept doesn’t have to be its own distinct feature (skills, plugins, marketplaces, subagents, etc). https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-agents https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-age...
