Kitt Subagent Creation & Orchestration FAQs

Question 1

Why does this skill recommend using XML tags for prompts?

Accepted Answer

XML tags provide a clear, semantic structure that helps Claude parse instructions more efficiently, improving token usage and task accuracy compared to standard markdown headings.

Question 2

What is the difference between project-level and user-level subagents?

Accepted Answer

Project-level agents are stored in .claude/agents/ and apply only to the current project, while user-level agents are in ~/.claude/agents/ and are available across all your projects.

Question 3

How do I create a new subagent?

Accepted Answer

You can create a new subagent by running the /agents command in your terminal and following the interactive prompts to define the name, description, tools, and system instructions.

Question 4

Can subagents ask me questions during execution?

Accepted Answer

No, subagents operate as 'black boxes' and cannot use interactive tools like AskUserQuestion; they return their final output to the main conversation once the task is finished.

Question 5

What is a subagent in Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

A subagent is a specialized AI instance that runs in an isolated context with a focused role and limited tool access, allowing it to complete complex tasks autonomously.
