Can I restrict the tools available to a specific subagent?

Yes, you can specify exactly which tools an agent can access using the 'tools' field in the agent's YAML frontmatter, which is ideal for safety and focus.

What is the difference between a Claude Skill and a Claude Agent?

Skills are capability packages triggered automatically by context, while Agents are specialized subagents stored in an agents directory and invoked via the Task tool for focused expertise.

Where should I store my Claude subagents?

Agents can be stored in the project-specific 'agents/' directory, your personal '~/.claude/agents/' directory, or bundled within a plugin.

What model should I use for my subagent?

The 'inherit' setting is recommended to adapt to the parent context, but you can also specify 'haiku' for speed, 'sonnet' for balance, or 'opus' for complex reasoning.

How do I trigger a custom agent in Claude Code?

Agents are triggered by specific keywords or phrases defined in their frontmatter description, such as 'create agent' or specific domain terms like 'security review'.
