What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables rapid creation of specialized Claude Code sub-agents with tailored system prompts and tool configurations, eliminating manual setup for each new automation workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured sub-agent templates: Generates sub-agent files with YAML frontmatter (name, description, tools, model, permissionMode, skills) stored under .claude/agents/ or ~/.claude/agents/.
System prompt templates: Provides ready-to-use system prompts and responsibilities that define the sub-agent's role and behavior.
Guided creation workflow: Walks users through requirements gathering, scope selection (project vs user), configuration, and file creation.

Quick Start

Copy the provided assets/subagent-template.md to a new file under .claude/agents/ (for example .claude/agents/my-subagent.md) and customize the YAML frontmatter fields to define name, description, and tooling. Then write the system prompt content to describe the sub-agent's behavior.
