subagent

Run a one-shot or flat parallel batch of provider LLM subagents (headless `cc-fleet subagent`) that return a result. Use when fanning out N independent tasks, doing bulk per-file work, or calling a specialized provider model (DeepSeek / GLM / Kimi / Qwen / MiniMax). NOT a long-lived collaborator you message back and forth (that is /cc-fleet:team); NOT a multi-phase pipeline with dependencies or resume (that is /cc-fleet:workflow); NOT trivial work the main session should just do.

workflow

Orchestrate a MULTI-PHASE, dependent, or resumable run over many provider subagents from a JS script, off the main context (`cc-fleet workflow`). Use for fan-out→barrier→synthesis, per-item pipelines, loop-until-dry, or a run that must survive a kill and `--resume` from its journal. NOT a flat fan-out of independent tasks (that is /cc-fleet:subagent — cheaper, no script); NOT interactive collaboration (that is /cc-fleet:team); NOT trivial single-shot work for the main session.

cc-fleet

Delegate work to any third-party LLM provider with an Anthropic-compatible API (e.g. DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax) as real Claude Code agent-team teammates or one-shot subagents via cc-fleet — driven exactly like native teammates, and your main session's own auth (OAuth or API key) stays untouched. Use when the user asks to spawn a vendor teammate or subagent, when bulk / parallel / specialized work warrants offloading from the main session, or when a `cc-fleet` command needs to be invoked.

team

Spawn long-lived provider LLM teammates in tmux panes that you message via the native agent-team tools — multi-turn, collaborative, watchable. Use for sustained parallel build/work ("spawn workers", N teammates on N files), or when you need a collaborator you message across turns. NOT a fire-and-forget one-shot or a flat batch of independent prompts — that is /cc-fleet:subagent. NOT a scripted multi-phase run — that is /cc-fleet:workflow.
