Required YAML frontmatter fields for Claude Code subagents include the agent's name, description, tool grants, and memory scopes, ensuring the agent is properly configured and focused.

The Lean Subagent Principle emphasizes creating minimal, focused subagents with specific tool grants rather than broadly capable agents, ensuring they perform specialized tasks effectively.

You need to set up memory scopes when creating a Claude Code subagent if the specialized agent requires persistent context to execute focused tasks like code generation or data analysis.

Yes, you can and should restrict tool access by specifying appropriate tool grants in the subagent's YAML frontmatter, adhering to the lean principle of minimal and focused agent configurations.

Custom Claude Code agents are defined using a markdown file format containing specific YAML frontmatter, which dictates the agent's name, description, and operational boundaries.
