SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create new Claude Code custom agents (subagents) to enable delegation and specialized automation. Use when: (1) User wants to create a new custom agent, (2) User says 'create agent', 'new agent', 'make subagent', (3) User wants a specialized agent for delegation. Covers: agent file format, YAML frontmatter fields, tool restrictions, model selection, permission modes, persistent memory, and placement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontmatter fields: name, description, model, tools, disallowedTools, permissionMode, maxTurns, skills, mcpServers, hooks, memory, color.
  • Workflow: understand purpose, choose appropriate settings (model, tools, memory, permissions), create the agent file with a template, and verify frontmatter syntax and placement.
  • Templates & Placement: provides a YAML frontmatter template and guidance for placing agent files under ~/.claude/agents/ (global) or .claude/agents/ (project-specific).
  • Restrictions: subagents cannot spawn other subagents; keep body focused to serve as the system prompt for the agent.

Quick Start

Create a new agent file with a YAML frontmatter template at the appropriate claude agents directory and fill in the name, description, and optional fields.

Frequently Asked Questions about subagent-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom subagent in Claude Code for task delegation?▼

To create a custom subagent in Claude Code, you generate a markdown file with YAML frontmatter defining its name, description, model, and tools, then place it in the `.claude/agents` directory for project scope or `~/.claude/agents` for global access.

What YAML frontmatter fields are available for Claude Code subagents?▼

Claude Code subagent frontmatter fields include name, description, model, tools, disallowedTools, permissionMode, maxTurns, skills, mcpServers, hooks, memory, and color, allowing granular control over agent capabilities and behavior.

How do I restrict tool access when configuring a Claude Code agent?▼

You restrict tool access for a Claude Code agent by using the `tools` and `disallowedTools` fields in the YAML frontmatter to explicitly permit or deny specific utilities during task execution.

Can a Claude Code subagent spawn other subagents for nested workflows?▼

No, a Claude Code subagent cannot spawn other subagents. This restriction prevents nested delegation, so you must design each agent body to function independently as a focused system prompt.

Does configuring persistent memory for Claude Code agents require special setup?▼

Configuring persistent memory for Claude Code agents requires no special setup; you simply define the memory parameters within the YAML frontmatter of the agent file during the creation process.

What is the difference between global and project-specific agent placement?▼

Global agents are placed in `~/.claude/agents` and are available across all projects, while project-specific agents are placed in `.claude/agents` and their configurations only apply to the current project directory.
