Do I need YAML frontmatter to define custom AI agent prompts?▼

YAML frontmatter is required to define custom AI agent prompts, specifically requiring name and description fields at the top of the Markdown file to properly configure the subagent behavior.

What are the limitations of extending AI subagent behavior with scripts?▼

Extending AI subagent behavior with scripts is limited to optional scripts, references, and assets directories alongside the main Markdown file, constraining behavior extensions to these specific structural boundaries.
