Subtask ✨

Subtask lets Claude Code draft your tasks, spawn subagents, track progress, review code and request changes.

Codex subagents are supported and recommended.

Spawning Tasks

You: fix the auth bug and add API metrics with Subtask

Claude:
  ├─► Bash(subtask draft fix/auth-bug ...)
  ├─► Bash(subtask draft feat/api-metrics ...)
  └─⏺ Tasks are in progress! I'll get notified when they're done.

Tracking & Merging

You: which tasks are open?

Claude:
  ├─► Bash(subtask list)
  │   ┌──────────────────┬─────────┬────────────────────────┐
  │   │ TASK             │ STATUS  │ TITLE                  │
  │   ├──────────────────┼─────────┼────────────────────────┤
  │   │ fix/auth-bug     │ replied │ Fix auth token refresh │
  │   │ feat/api-metrics │ working │ Add API metrics        │
  │   │ feat/ui-redesign │ draft   │ Redesign dashboard     │
  │   └──────────────────┴─────────┴────────────────────────┘
  │
  └─⏺ ui-redesign hasn't started yet — want me to kick it off?

You: lets merge fix/auth-bug.

Use

Ask Claude Code to do things:

Claude Code will draft tasks and run them simultaneously in isolated Git worktrees, then help you review and merge the changes.
