Episode notes
Use Sub-Agents For Specialized Tasks
- Sub-agents are nested agent loops specialized for tasks like code search.
- Those sub-agents let AMP delegate targeted work and compose capabilities reliably.
Save Threads As Learning Artifacts
- Keep agent session transcripts (threads) to learn and share best practices.
- Use server-synced threads so teammates can inspect interactions and improve prompting.
Define Roles And Store Prompts
- Create reusable role templates and an agents.md to steer agent behavior.
- Store role prompts and style guides so agents behave consistently across sessions.
