Excalidraw diagram (subagents vs. agent teams)

I linked my Excalidraw diagram because the subagents vs Agent Teams confusion is real right now. The core idea is simple: isolation vs collaboration. If you want a fast mental model you can share with your team, the diagram makes the tradeoffs obvious.

Pros

+Clear visual explanation of collaboration vs isolation
+Helpful for choosing the right parallelization approach

Cons

-A diagram won’t cover every edge case of real-world workflows
