In one picture

You are leading a group project. You could research every source, write every paragraph and fact-check the whole document yourself — or you could turn to a teammate and say "go find every mention of X in these fifty PDFs and come back with a summary". Ten minutes later they hand you the answer, and your main focus was never cluttered with the search process. A subagent in Claude Code plays that role: a focused helper that runs off, does one specific job, and reports back with a clean result — leaving your main conversation uncluttered and on-topic.
