Làm chủ Claude Code trong một tuần (Phần 9): Subagents

Đây là phần thứ chín trong series "Làm chủ Claude Code trong một tuần". Trong bài này, chúng ta sẽ tìm hiểu Subagents — specialized AI assistants cho các tasks cụ thể.

Subagents là gì?

Subagents là specialized AI assistants với isolated contexts và custom prompts. Main agent có thể delegate tasks cho subagents với chuyên môn cụ thể, giống như một tech lead phân công tasks cho các developers chuyên biệt.

- Implement models
- Add services/actions
- Create controllers
- Write tests

#### Frontend
- Create components
- Add state management
- Implement API calls
- Add styles
- Write tests

### 4. Validate

### Files Modified
- `path/to/file.php` - What changed

### Database Changes
- Migration: `create_x_table`

### Tests Added
- `tests/Feature/XTest.php`

### Next Steps
1. [Any manual steps needed]
2. [Configuration required]

Constraints

• Follow project coding standards
• Write tests for new code
• Don't break existing functionality
• Ask for clarification if requirements unclear

## Sử dụng Subagents

### Automatic Delegation

Main agent tự động delegate khi phù hợp:

User: "Review this code for security issues"

Main Agent: [Recognizes security review task] [Delegates to @secure-reviewer]

Secure Reviewer: [Analyzes code] [Returns security report]

Main Agent: [Synthesizes and presents findings to user]

### Explicit Delegation

Bạn có thể yêu cầu specific subagent:

User: "Use @test-engineer to create tests for UserService"

Main Agent: [Delegates to @test-engineer]

Test Engineer: [Creates comprehensive test suite]

### Multi-agent Workflow

User: "Complete code review for this PR"

Main Agent:

1. Delegates to @code-reviewer for quality review
2. Delegates to @secure-reviewer for security scan
3. Delegates to @test-engineer for test coverage analysis
4. Synthesizes all findings
5. Presents comprehensive PR review

## Custom Subagent Teams

Bạn có thể tạo team của riêng mình:

### DevOps Team

.claude/agents/ ├── infra-specialist.md # Infrastructure ├── ci-engineer.md # CI/CD pipelines ├── monitoring-expert.md # Observability └── security-ops.md # Security operations

### Frontend Team

.claude/agents/ ├── react-developer.md # React specialist ├── ui-designer.md # UI/UX implementation ├── accessibility-expert.md # A11y compliance └── performance-optimizer.md # Frontend performance

### Data Team

.claude/agents/ ├── data-engineer.md # ETL and pipelines ├── data-analyst.md # Analysis and reporting ├── ml-engineer.md # Machine learning └── database-admin.md # Database optimization

## Best Practices

### 1. Clear Role Definition

```markdown
# ❌ Bad - Vague role
You are a helpful assistant.

# ✅ Good - Specific role
You are a senior security engineer with 10 years of experience
in application security, specializing in OWASP vulnerabilities
and secure coding practices for PHP and JavaScript.

2. Explicit Tool Permissions

# ❌ Bad - Too many permissions
tools:
  - Read
  - Write
  - Bash
  - Glob
  - Grep
  - Network
  - Admin

# ✅ Good - Minimal permissions
tools:
  - Read    # Code reviewer chỉ cần đọc
  - Grep    # Cho tìm kiếm patterns

3. Structured Output

# ❌ Bad - Unstructured output
Just write your findings.

# ✅ Good - Structured template
## Output Format

### Summary
[One paragraph overview]

### Findings
1. **[Category]**: [Finding]
   - Location: [file:line]
   - Impact: [Description]

### Recommendations
1. [Actionable item]

4. Context Isolation

Subagents có isolated context — họ không thấy full conversation history. Cung cấp đủ context trong agent definition.

5. Constraint Definition

## Constraints

- DO NOT modify production code
- DO NOT access external APIs
- Always ask for clarification if unsure
- Follow project coding standards
- Respect existing architecture decisions

Workflow Example: Full Feature Implementation

User: "Implement user profile feature with avatar upload"

Main Agent:
1. Analyzes requirements
2. Creates implementation plan

Main Agent → @implementation-agent:
"Implement user profile with:
- Profile model with avatar field
- Avatar upload to S3
- API endpoints: GET/PUT profile
- Validation rules"

Implementation Agent:
- Creates migration
- Implements model
- Adds service classes
- Creates API controller
- Returns implementation

Main Agent → @test-engineer:
"Create tests for the user profile feature"

Test Engineer:
- Creates unit tests for profile service
- Creates feature tests for API
- Returns test suite

Main Agent → @secure-reviewer:
"Review the implemented profile feature for security"

Secure Reviewer:
- Checks file upload security
- Validates access control
- Returns security assessment

Main Agent:
- Synthesizes all outputs
- Presents complete implementation with tests
- Notes any security concerns

Tổng kết

Subagents enable specialization:

• ✅ Isolated contexts for focused work
• ✅ Domain-specific expertise
• ✅ Automatic delegation
• ✅ Customizable tool permissions
• ✅ Team-based workflows
