# Thematic Coding

Identify recurring themes across papers using qualitative coding methodology.

## Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

## Why Subagent

Thematic coding requires iterative comparison across all papers simultaneously — reading, coding, comparing, refining codes. Dedicated context for this qualitative analysis.

## Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| spawn-agent | Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent. |
