07 — Quiz: subagents

Pick an answer. The quiz checks it and shows the explanation.

#

1. You spend 20 minutes describing a bug, then ask a subagent to "check the logs". Its report misses the point. Why?

a) subagents use weaker models

b) it never saw your conversation, only the short task message

c) it can't read files

d) its context was compacted

b — a subagent starts fresh. Put the facts it needs into the task.

#

2. Mid-session, you create the first file in a new .claude/agents/ folder. Claude says it doesn't know that subagent. What fixes it?

a) rename the file

b) restart the session once

c) add model: inherit

d) run /compact

b — Claude Code only notices a brand-new agents folder at startup. Later edits apply within seconds.

#

3. You want every report from a subagent to be 10 lines or fewer. Where does that rule go?

a) maxTurns: 10

b) tools: Read

c) the subagent's prompt, with an exact reply format

d) a permission rule

c — no field caps report length. maxTurns caps turns, not lines.

#

4. The main session runs in acceptEdits. A subagent's file sets permissionMode: default. Which mode does the subagent use?

a) acceptEdits: that main-session mode overrides the subagent's

b) default: the file always wins

c) plan

d) bypassPermissions

a — bypassPermissions, acceptEdits and auto in the main session override a subagent's own mode.

#

5. You have three steps that each edit the same file, in order. Agent team, parallel subagents, or the main conversation?

a) an agent team

b) three parallel subagents

c) the main conversation

d) a fork per step

c — teams and parallel subagents suit independent jobs. Sequential edits to one file belong in one place.
