Part 2 · Our copy-paste version

Adapted by us from what the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

The prompt

Look at this repo and tell me which 3 specialist subagents from [LIBRARY URL] would help most, with one reason each. Then show me the full text of each file BEFORE installing. Install only the ones I approve into .claude/agents/.
🛡
Approval ruleRead each definition and its tool permissions before installing.

Set it up

  1. Browse the categories.
  2. Read every agent file before installing; they are prompts that can request tools.
  3. Install 2–3, not 50.
  4. Use them by name in a session.

Common failures

⚠
What usually goes wrong
  • Too many agents make routing worse.
  • Some definitions grant broad tools. Trim them.

Variations

  • Write your own from the best one.
  • Share a team set in the repo.
