Agent Development

To create a Claude Code agent, define its frontmatter fields including name, description, model, color, and tools, then write a comprehensive system prompt detailing its responsibilities and process. You also need to provide 2-3 triggering examples for explicit and proactive usage scenarios.

Agent frontmatter standardizes identifiers and metadata for Claude Code plugins. The required fields are name, description, model, color, and optional tools, which configure the agent's behavior and appearance within the system.

Writing a system prompt requires defining the agent's structure, responsibilities, process, and output expectations. The prompt must align with project standards using CLAUDE.md context to ensure the agent behaves consistently and securely.

Validate an autonomous agent configuration by running validation scripts that check security and quality alignment with CLAUDE.md. This ensures the agent markdown file meets project standards and is ready for use within your workflow.

Yes, providing 2-3 triggering examples is recommended. These examples define explicit and proactive usage scenarios, helping the autonomous agent understand when to activate and execute its designated tasks effectively.

Tools in agent frontmatter are optional, but they must align with the project standards defined in CLAUDE.md. Validation scripts enforce security and quality checks to prevent misconfigured tool permissions during autonomous execution.
