# Agent Types for Common Tasks

## Agent Types for Common Tasks


| Task | Best subagent_type | Why |
|------|--------------------|-----|
| File reads, searches, analysis | `Explore` | Read-only, fast |
| Writing/editing files, running scripts | `general-purpose` | Full tools |
| Shell commands only | `Bash` | Minimal overhead |
| Research + planning | `Plan` | Structured planning |

Never assign implementation work to `Explore` or `Plan` — they are read-only.
