Do changes to subagents take effect immediately?

No, you must restart your Claude Code session or use the /agents command for the agent to reload and apply the updated configurations.

Can I restrict which tools a specific subagent can use?

Yes, you can specify a comma-separated list of allowed tools in the subagent's markdown frontmatter. If omitted, the subagent inherits all available tools.

How do I make a subagent available across all my projects?

You can create or move the subagent to the user scope located at ~/.claude/agents/. Subagents in this directory are globally accessible regardless of your current project.

Is it safe to delete subagents using these tools?

Yes, the skill includes a safety mechanism that uses the AskUserQuestion tool to require explicit confirmation before any subagent file is deleted.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates the creation, organization, and lifecycle management of specialized subagents and custom skill sets for Claude Code and Codex CLI.

Subagents Management provides a robust set of utilities to programmatically manage specialized AI personas within the Claude Code and Codex CLI ecosystems. It allows developers to create, edit, list, and migrate subagent definitions across both global user and local project scopes, enabling fine-grained control over AI behavior. By streamlining the management of instruction files like AGENTS.md and individual subagent markdown templates, this skill empowers users to build a library of custom-tailored assistants for specific tasks like code reviews, security audits, or documentation, complete with safety-first workflows and tool-restriction capabilities.
