Reply to @RoundtableSpace: Anthropic just told developers to delete most of their subagents.
their testing: one agent with skills often beats multi-agent setups. one customer ran about 2x faster after switching.
the new rule of thumb:
→ skills = how your team does the work
→ tools / MCP = taking actions and reading live data
→ subagents = only for parallel work, fresh context, or an overloaded agent
audit your setup:
"Read every subagent, skill and MCP tool in this project. For each subagent, say keep, fold into a skill, or turn into a tool, and why. Build a 10-example eval first, then fold them in one at a time and show me the score before and after each change. Stop if any task gets worse."
