What is subtask?
Subtask provides a skill and a CLI so that Claude Code can create tasks, launch subagents, and track, review, and request fixes on their progress. Each task uses a git worktree, so work runs safely in parallel. When a subagent finishes, Claude gets a notification, reviews the code, and asks whether to merge. It says it is still in early development.
- Run in parallel with a git worktree for each task
- Claude can step into a subagent and talk with it
- A TUI showing progress, diffs, and conversations
- Save tasks to a folder
- Codex subagent support
- Install skills in ~/.claude/skills, Claude Code plugin (optional)
Who uses subtask and for what
- Have Claude Code split up multiple features and bug fixes and handle them at the same time with subagents
