Where are Claude Code subagents stored?

Project-specific agents are stored in .claude/agents/, global user agents in ~/.claude/agents/, and plugin agents within the plugin's agents/ directory.

Can I restrict which tools a subagent can use?

Yes, you can use the 'tools' field in the YAML frontmatter to provide a comma-separated list of specific tools like Read, Grep, or Bash, following the principle of least privilege.

What is the difference between a project agent and a user agent?

Project agents are scoped only to the current directory and have the highest priority, while user agents are available across all projects on your system but have lower priority if names conflict.

Can I define subagents without creating a file?

Yes, you can define subagents dynamically using the --agents CLI flag with a JSON configuration for quick testing or session-specific tasks.

What models can I assign to a subagent?

Subagents can be configured to use specific model aliases like 'sonnet', 'opus', or 'haiku', or they can 'inherit' the model used in the main conversation.
