Agent Development

To build autonomous agents for Claude Code plugins, generate a fully structured agent configuration including frontmatter, system prompts, and triggering examples. This process converts your requirements directly into validated files within the plugin's agents directory.

Frontmatter scaffolding creates mandatory metadata fields like name, description, model, and color for Claude Code agent files. This structure enables reliable discovery and loading of the agent within the plugin ecosystem.

You validate system prompts and agent configurations by running toxicity and safety checks. This prevents unsafe agent behaviors and mitigates prompt injection risks before the agent is deployed.

Claude Code plugin development enforces command-style system prompts to guide autonomous behavior accurately. This format ensures the agent activates correctly and operates within its intended boundaries.

Limitations include strict frontmatter constraints where only specific fields like name, description, model, color, and tools are permitted. Additionally, generated configurations must pass mandatory toxicity checks to ensure safety.
