# 9. Delegate Like a Manager

Fable 5 can spin up subagents, which are helper copies that work on separate pieces at the same time. Most people never ask.

**When to use:** Use in Claude Code when the job splits into independent pieces: research five competitors, audit ten pages, process a folder of files.

## The prompt

```
Delegate independent subtasks to subagents and keep working while they run. Intervene if a subagent goes off track or is missing relevant context.
```

**Why it works:** Independent pieces get done in parallel instead of one after another, so the whole job lands sooner.
