What are Role Sub-Agents in Claude Code

Role Sub-Agents analyze tasks from multiple perspectives simultaneously. Ask Claude to Create sub-agents and analyze this from multiple perspectives: security, senior engineer, factual reviewer then request consolidate the findings from all sub-agents and provide unified recommendations.

Why Use Role Sub-Agents

Multiple roles analyze problems in parallel, creating insights difficult through single-role analysis while maximizing Sonnet's capabilities.

Benefits:

• Diverse Perspectives - Security, engineering, UX, creative roles provide comprehensive coverage
• Cost Optimization - Often outperforms expensive Opus model
• Specialized Tools - Each role uses tools suited to their expertise
• Less Blind Spots - Multiple perspectives reviewing the same task

I use role sub-agents for thorough validation of complex features, then ask Claude to consolidate all perspectives into actionable recommendations. I normally action this process in Plan Mode.
