description Create Claude Code subagent configurations for .claude/agents/. Defines specialized agents with isolated contexts. Use when creating dedicated agents for code review, testing, or domain-specific tasks.

Subagent Creator

Create specialized subagents that run in isolated contexts via the Task tool.

Core Principles

  1. Isolated Context - Each subagent has its own context window
  2. Specialized Role - One clear responsibility per subagent
  3. Minimal Tools - Grant only necessary tool access
  4. Clear Trigger - Description must indicate when to use

Subagent Structure

.claude/agents/
├── code-reviewer.md      # Project-level
├── test-runner.md
└── domain-expert.md

User-level agents go in ~/.claude/agents/.

File Format

---
name: agent-name
description: What this agent does. Use proactively when [triggers].
tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash
model: sonnet
skills: skill1, skill2
permissionMode: default
---

System prompt for the agent.

## Role
[Clear description of the agent's role]

Trigger Patterns

For automatic invocation, include in description:

  • "Use proactively when..."
  • "Use immediately after..."
  • "MUST BE USED when..."

For manual invocation, omit proactive triggers.

Validation Checklist

  • Name is lowercase with hyphens
  • Description has clear trigger
  • Tools are minimal and appropriate
  • No overlapping responsibility with other agents
  • System prompt is focused and actionable
