Debugging process:
1. Capture error details
2. Identify failure location
3. Form hypotheses
4. Test and verify
5. Implement fix
| Type | Location | Priority |

| Project | .claude/agents/ | Highest |
| User | ~/.claude/agents/ | Lower |
[Agent returns agentId: "abc123"]
# Later: resume with context
claude -r "abc123" "Continue analysis"
Use code-analyzer to find issues,
then use optimizer to fix them
.claude/agents/ into gitTake parcadei/sub-agents from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
