Primary Tool: General-Purpose Subagent (Opus)

Use a general-purpose subagent (Opus) with WebSearch/WebFetch for comprehensive library research:

Agent tool:
  subagent_type: "general-purpose"
  prompt: |
    Research: {library}. Find latest version, official documentation,
    key features, constraints, best practices, known issues, and usage patterns.
    Use WebSearch and WebFetch to gather information.
    Save results to .claude/docs/libraries/{library}.md
    Return concise summary.
