Common questions about the Introduction to Subagents micro-course.
The docs tell you what subagents are. This course tells you which ones to skip (expert personas, sequential pipelines, test runners) and gives you a seven-section output template you can paste into any config. Thirty minutes here versus a weekend of trial and error.
No. Introduction to Subagents is independent. This course is not an Anthropic product and has not been reviewed or endorsed by them.
If you've used Claude Code enough to hit a context-full warning, you're ready. If you've never opened it, start with Claude Code 101 first. If you've already shipped three custom subagents, the decision framework in lesson 4 is worth 5 minutes; skip the earlier lessons.

About 30 minutes. The course has four focused lessons, each covering a specific aspect of subagents in Claude Code.
