How do I ensure my agent triggers at the right time?

The description field is critical; it must include specific triggering conditions and multiple blocks showing context, user requests, and assistant responses.

What is the difference between an agent and a command in Claude Code?

Agents are designed for autonomous, multi-step work and are triggered by context, while commands are typically user-initiated actions.

Which model should a Claude Code agent use?

It is recommended to use 'inherit' so the agent matches the parent model, but you can explicitly set it to sonnet, opus, or haiku for specific needs.

What naming conventions should I use for agent identifiers?

Identifiers must be 3-50 characters, use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and must start and end with an alphanumeric character.

Can I limit the tools an agent can access?

Yes, you can use the 'tools' field in the frontmatter to restrict access to a specific array of tools, following the principle of least privilege.
