Covers what subagents are, when to use or avoid them, and a simple prompt workflow for getting started. ## Content I just published a new video: **OpenAI Codex Subagents Tutorial for Beginners**. In this one, I explain how Codex can work more like an AI coding team, with a manager agent delegating work to planner, coder, reviewer, and tester-style subagents. I cover what subagents are, when to use them, when not to use them, and a simple step-by-step prompt workflow for beginners. Would love to hear how you are using Codex or other AI coding agents in your workflow.
