From the video description

Skills are recipes. Subagents are chefs. Once this mental model clicks, you'll never confuse Claude Code's customization layers again — and you'll unlock a workflow most developers don't even know exists. In this video, I break down exactly when to use Skills alone, when to use Subagents alone, and the power combo that changes everything: wiring Skills INTO Subagents. I show 4 real-world patterns — a Code Reviewer, a Codebase Scout, a Test Writer, and a Parallel Pipeline — each with the actual .claude/agents/ file you can copy. Plus a decision flowchart you can screenshot and use every time.
