Claude Code sub agents to reduce main context usage

March 31, 2026Aakash Gupta

Aakash Gupta describes using sub agents in Claude Code so tool heavy work happens in cloned sessions, keeping the main context window stable and making long research tasks more manageable.

Carl Vellotti ran a research task in Claude Code. Ten tool calls. Almost 30,000 tokens.

The trick is sub-agents.
