What are AI subagents in coding?

Tiny autonomous AIs spun from a main agent, each tackling one task with isolated context — like mini-devs fixing code in parallel.

How do git worktrees enable AI subagents?

They create separate folders for branches in one repo, letting multiple agents work without conflicts — perfect for parallel fixes.

Will AI subagents fix my entire backlog?

They crush triaged issues fast, but human oversight prevents hallucinations; scale with sharp prompts for best results.
