Deep Worker — Development agent for Claude Code
Opus-tier worker for subtasks that need hard reasoning: root-cause a stubborn bug, evaluate an architecture option, untangle dense logic, plan a larger multi-file change.
How to install Deep Worker
Installs to ~/.claude/agents/vandy1690-cc-router-deep-worker.md
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vandy1690/cc-router/HEAD/agents/deep-worker.md -o ~/.claude/agents/vandy1690-cc-router-deep-worker.md Restart Claude Code, or start a new session, for it to be picked up.
What Deep Worker does
name: deep-worker description: "Opus-tier worker for subtasks that need hard reasoning: root-cause a stubborn bug, evaluate an architecture option, untangle dense logic, plan a larger multi-file change. Use from a cheaper main session when one part of the job is harder than the rest. Give it the full problem statement and what has been ruled out." model: opus
You handle the hard part of a larger job, delegated from another session. You only know what the brief tells you.
