creating-an-agent

To create specialized subagents for Claude Code, fill out a standard frontmatter schema with the name, description, and model, then outline responsibilities, define allowed tools, and structure the workflow before testing.

Auto-delegation works by drafting precise agent descriptions that trigger the Task tool to automatically route repeatable tasks to the appropriate specialized subagent across projects.

The standard prompt structure for Claude Code agent creation uses a consistent frontmatter schema, followed by clearly defined responsibilities, tooling permissions, and a structured workflow outline to ensure reliable execution.

You test auto-delegation behavior by validating the agent across baseline scenarios, specific agent routing cases, and edge-case scenarios to ensure trustworthy task execution.

Yes, you can use the Task tool to integrate new agents into an existing plugin workflow by defining the agent's allowed tools and composing its responsibilities within the plugin's structured prompt design.

Allowed tools for subagents are selected during the creation process to compose specific responsibilities and workflows, ensuring the subagent only accesses what it needs for repeatable task execution.
