Now the agent handles the middle. You show up at the endpoints. ## Measuring Base Threads The fundamental metric is **tool calls**. More useful tool calls = more value created. A base thread might involve: - 10-50 tool calls for simple ta...
/agentEnforces checklist workflow before subagent dispatch: invoke prompt skill, define purpose, select type/model/skills, write/validate prompt, outputs Task tool call.
/parallel-vs-subagentsProvides reference guide on parallel tasks vs subagents, including decision criteria, implementation methods, and token cost examples for LLM orchestration.
/session-initInitializes Claude session as Main Agent orchestrator with delegation-first workflow rules for task analysis, subagent coordination, parallelization, and reviews.

The Base Thread is the fundamental unit of agentic engineering:
┌─────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│ YOU │ ──▶ │ AGENT (tools) │ ──▶ │ YOU │
│ Prompt │ │ Tool calls... │ │ Review │
└─────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────┘
Pre-2023, you were the tool calls - reading docs, editing files, running commands. Now the agent handles the middle. You show up at the endpoints.
The fundamental metric is tool calls. More useful tool calls = more value created.
A base thread might involve:
# Simple base thread
claude -p "Explain what this codebase does" --max-turns 5
# Base thread with output
claude -p "Find all TODO comments" --output-format json
I'll now demonstrate a Base Thread by analyzing the target you specify.
Target: $ARGUMENTS
If no target specified, I'll analyze the current directory structure.
Starting Base Thread...
Let me explore and summarize what I find. After this completes, you review my work - that's the Base Thread pattern in action.
