Practical Guide: Saving Tokens by Orchestration Claude with SubAgents
dotey · x · 2026-08-14
A developer shared an effective CLAUDE.md prompt strategy for optimizing multi-agent collaboration using Claude.
Core Strategy: The main agent (e.g., Sonnet 3.5) acts strictly as an orchestrator—handling requirement clarification, task breakdown, delegation, and result verification. All concrete implementation tasks (reading/writing code, running tests) are delegated to SubAgents (e.g., Haiku 3.5).
Advantages: This orchestration drastically reduces token consumption and avoids the high latency and massive costs associated with running heavy models like Opus for the entire workflow.
