What is a Claude subagent?

A subagent is a specialized execution environment within Claude Code that features its own independent prompt, tool access, and permissions, allowing for more reliable delegation of specific tasks.

How do permission modes work for subagents?

Permission modes determine how a subagent handles tool usage prompts, offering options like 'default' (ask for permission), 'dontAsk' (auto-deny), and 'acceptEdits' (auto-accept changes).

What are delegation signals in subagents?

Delegation signals are specific phrases or context provided in a subagent's description that help the primary Claude instance recognize when a task should be handed off to that subagent.

Can I use this skill to edit global subagents?

No, this skill is specifically designed for project-scoped subagents to ensure safety and avoid unintended side effects across your entire system.
