Agent Creator FAQs

Question 1

Where are the agents created by this skill stored?

Accepted Answer

Agents can be stored at two levels: User-level (global) in `~/.claude/agents/` for use across all your projects, or Project-level (repo-specific) in `.claude/agents/` for specialized tasks unique to a specific codebase.

Question 2

How does tool restriction benefit my custom agents?

Accepted Answer

Tool restriction allows you to create 'Least Privilege' agents. By whitelisting only the tools an agent needs (e.g., giving a Researcher only Read and WebSearch), you reduce the risk of unintended edits, lower token costs, and improve the agent's focus on its specific domain.

Question 3

What does the Agent Creator skill do?

Accepted Answer

The Agent Creator skill provides a structured framework for building specialized Claude Code agents. It guides you through defining custom personas, whitelisting specific tools, selecting the right model (Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus), and generating the necessary Markdown configuration files via scaffolding scripts.

Question 4

When should I create an Agent instead of a Skill?

Accepted Answer

Create an Agent when you need to change 'who' Claude is—altering its persona, restricting its toolset, or forcing a specific model for cost or performance. Create a Skill when you simply want to provide Claude with additional 'knowledge' or reusable procedures without changing its fundamental behavior.

Question 5

Does this skill help with Claude Opus 4.5 optimization?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill includes specific prompting patterns and guidelines optimized for Opus 4.5. It helps you avoid over-engineering, use appropriate imperative language, and implement anti-over-engineering snippets to ensure the agent remains focused and efficient.
