What Business Analyst by nyldn is
Business Analyst by nyldn is a subagent published in the nyldn/claude-octopus repository on GitHub, which has about 4.1k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Run multiple AI models against the same research, design, or coding task. Surface disagreements before you ship.”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Business Analyst and get back a compact result.

- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
