## When to Use Agents vs Commands vs Skills

| Component | Best For | Triggering | Example Use Case |
|-----------|----------|------------|------------------|
| **Agents** | Autonomous multi-step tasks | Proactive or description-matched | Code review after implementation |
| **Commands** | User-initiated actions | Explicit `/command` invocation | `/deploy production` |
| **Skills** | Knowledge and guidance | Model-invoked based on context | Domain expertise for PDF processing |

### Choose Agents When

- Task requires autonomous, multi-step execution
- Proactive triggering after certain events is desired
- Specialized subprocess with focused tools needed
- Work should happen in the background or as a subagent

### Choose Commands When

- User should explicitly trigger the action
- Task has clear start/end with specific inputs
- Action should not happen automatically
- Workflow requires user confirmation at each step

### Choose Skills When

- Providing knowledge or procedural guidance
- Extending Claude's domain expertise
- No autonomous execution needed
- Information should be available contextually on-demand
