Best Claude Code subagents (2026)

Subagents let Claude Code delegate work to specialized agents with their own prompt and tools: a code reviewer, a test writer, a researcher. Good subagent collections are hard to find because the big directories barely cover them. This ranking is built from the agent repositories in the catalog, scored by Trust Score, stars and activity.

Each collection installs into ~/.claude/agents, and individual agents have their own installable pages. This is one of the most underserved corners of the Claude ecosystem.
