Alright, so we're about a day since we got our first chance to really see Cloud Code sub agents. So since the announcement from yesterday, we've been starting to really dive into putting together a practical application on how to use these, starting with software development lifecycle type agents. But the idea here was not to just to create the software development agents with all your usual suspects that we saw from the original SuperClaude repositories, but starting to drill this into what is the amount of context that you need to be successful. So even what I have right now is going to be a little bit long. When I was starting to build some of these agents, I saw that there were warning messages for anything more than 400 characters, but I thought it was extremely important to make sure that had the right amount of context. So as we kind of go, we'll probably tweak these even further, but this is a really good starting point that you can take a look at and use right away. So it really is as simple as going into this agent directory here and you'll see that we have markdown files that are purpose-built by the specialized capability of the agents that you'd like to use. And we're going to start with the Product Manager Orchestrator. So essentially what this file is going to be is it's going to go ahead and say that you're a Product Manager who orchestrates the team of specialized agents. So this is incredibly important because you're focusing more on how to leverage the team's strengths as opposed to doing the work yourself. So this is an Orchestrator agent that's going to look at it and it's going to base it off of just like any other Product Manager user value over feature count, team collaboration over heroics. So all the things you would think of traditional great leadership styles. And as we kind of look through here you're going to see that there's some patterns that we're using. So who's responsible for what type of capabilities, whether that's your PRD, your product or project, requirement document writer, your deep research analyst for something that is something that you need to learn about, your system architect, and so on and so forth. So as you can see there's a really solid breakdown of the decision-making framework of who's going to do what, the process of assigning it. And as we go from those Orchestrator agents now you can get into what the system architect looks like, your senior software engineer of what would be there, and we'll go through. And I have noticed this with some of these YAML formatting when we start to go through them. So what will I do after this? We'll go through and I'll have my Product Manager Orchestrator. I'll give it from the user's perspective to be able to go ahead here and make the necessary updates that we need to do. So here's essentially what it's going to look like. We're going to go over here and if we're cloning to the repository for Cloud Code subagents we can then copy the agents, the markdown files, and in this example all I'm doing is I'm going here and I'm adding them directly into my home directory. So those are my personal agents that are global in nature and I can use them on any project that I want to do. So essentially all we have to do here at this point in time we have an issue that we can go ahead here and resolve. So what we'll do is let's go ahead and fire up Cloud and I'm going to use the dangerously skip permissions option here so that way it can run autonomously. If you do have Cloud Code hooks this is something that you can take advantage of and you can put single script implementations so that way you're not getting hit with it accidentally removing files in your file system. So once we have this fired up here if I go to agents you're going to see that I have all of these agents available to me right now. So I'm going to go ahead here and I'm going to give it a roll and I'm going to call it user and I'm going to say delegate to and I don't know if this is the best way but this has been working for me lately delegate to the product manager and we're going to go ahead and give it a task and this task I'm going to actually use voice here in just a second so we're going to go ahead and take a look and on the senior software engineer we have the following error so we will go ahead and revert back. In the agents directory for the senior software engineer sub agent we're getting the following error. All I'm going to do is I'm going to drop that in. Please use the sequential thinking MCP server and Serena MCP server to be able to complete the necessary activities. Please ensure that you're delegating to the appropriate team members so we can get this issue resolved. And all we're doing here is I'm using whisper flow to be able to be a little bit even more efficient. So what's going to happen is behind the scenes here it's going to start computing it's going to go through it and then as it gets to the different stages it's going to go ahead here and delegate out to the appropriate members on the team. So you can see right off the bat we're getting the product manager orchestrator agent sub agent and it's going to go through and do its work through sequential thinking as you can see here where it's calling out to the MCP server and it's now go ahead and registering over to Serena to do some of the work there. So this is just a quick little rundown of what this will look like. We'll push this update out after it gets completed but wanted to give a rundown of here's how you can start to use this. Now the PRD file that we do have on this if we go back over to the PRD you can see that we have a technical implementation template so just because we were doing software development lifecycle doesn't mean that we can't use any other use case. So I'm gonna start playing with this for the next video and start doing some non-technical sub agents that we can use for any of our general workflows. So I hope this helps If it was helpful, please subscribe and we'll see you on the next one.
