subagent-prompt-construction
Systematic methodology for constructing compact (<150 lines), expressive, Claude Code-integrated subagent prompts using lambda contracts and symbolic logic. Use when creating new specialized subagents for Claude Code with agent composition, MCP tool integration, or skill references. Validated with phase-planner-executor (V_instance=0.895).
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill yaleh-meta-cc-claude-skills-subagent-prompt-construction --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the subagent-prompt-construction skill do?
Systematic methodology for constructing compact (<150 lines), expressive, Claude Code-integrated subagent prompts using lambda contracts and symbolic logic. Use when creating new specialized subagents for Claude Code with agent composition, MCP tool integration, or skill references. Validated with phase-planner-executor (V_instance=0.895).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill yaleh-meta-cc-claude-skills-subagent-prompt-construction --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
