699| Approach | System prompt | Task | Also loads |
700| :--------------------------- | :----------------------- | :-------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------- |
701| Skill with `context: fork` | From agent type | SKILL.md content | CLAUDE.md, except when the agent is Explore or Plan |
702| Subagent with `skills` field | Subagent's markdown body | Claude's delegation message | Preloaded skills + CLAUDE.md |

701| Skill with `context: fork` | From agent type | SKILL.md content | CLAUDE.md, per the agent's [startup context](/docs/en/sub-agents#what-loads-at-startup) |
702| Subagent with `skills` field | Subagent's markdown body | Claude's delegation message | Preloaded skills + CLAUDE.md, per the subagent's [startup context](/docs/en/sub-agents#what-loads-at-startup) |

704704With `context: fork`, you write the task in your skill and pick an agent type to execute it. The built-in Explore and Plan agents [skip CLAUDE.md and git status](/docs/en/sub-agents#what-loads-at-startup) to keep their context small, so a forked skill using `agent: Explore` sees only the SKILL.md content and the agent's own system prompt. For the inverse, where you define a custom subagent that uses skills as reference material, see [Subagents](/docs/en/sub-agents#preload-skills-into-subagents).
