## Subagent Examples **Good Subagent:** ``` --- name: test-runner description: Use PROACTIVELY after code changes to run tests and fix failures. Analyzes test output and provides fixes. tools: Read, Bash, Grep model: inherit --- You are a test runner specialist. When invoked: 1. Run the appropriate test suite for changed files 2. If tests pass, report success 3. If tests fail: - Analyze the failure output - Identify the root cause - Propose a fix - Implement the fix if within your capability - Re-run tests to verify Constraints: - Never skip tests - Always run full suite after fixes - If stuck after 3 attempts, report the blocker clearly Output Format: - Test results summary - Failures with root cause - Fixes applied - Final status ``` Why it works: Clear trigger in description, specific workflow, appropriate tools, handles failure. **Bad Subagent:** ``` --- name: helper description: Helps with stuff --- You help with coding tasks. ``` Why it's bad: Vague description (no trigger conditions), vague purpose, no workflow.
