Split up Single BTRFS "/" Partition into: root home snapshots

Realizing later that one should have separately partitioned /home is something that I have seen others regret. One would think recipes for installing or installer workflows would recognize this.
So: How do I split safely ?

# btrfs subvolume snapshot / /@
# btrfs subvolume create /@home
# btrfs subvolume create /@snapshots
# rsync -aAXv /home/ /@home ; sync

which wiki pages should I understand before I play superuser?
