What is the difference between a Skill and a Sub-agent?

Skills are model-invoked extensions that provide specific tools or guidance, while Sub-agents are specialized assistants with their own 200K context window designed for focused delegation.

Can I use this kit for CI/CD automation?

Yes, the kit includes detailed references for Headless Mode and sandboxing, allowing you to run Claude Code programmatically in secure, non-interactive environments.
