What are the naming conventions for agent identifiers?

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

What is an agent in the context of Claude Code?

An agent is an autonomous subprocess defined in a Markdown file that handles complex, multi-step tasks independently, distinct from user-initiated commands.

Can I restrict which tools an agent has access to?

Yes, you can use the 'tools' frontmatter field to define an array of allowed tools (like Read, Write, or Bash), ensuring the agent follows the principle of least privilege.

What is the recommended model for a Claude Code agent?

The 'inherit' option is generally recommended as it allows the agent to use the same model as the parent process, though you can specify Sonnet, Opus, or Haiku for specific needs.

How does Claude Code know when to trigger a specific agent?

Agents are triggered via the 'description' field in their frontmatter, which contains specific conditions and multiple usage examples that help Claude identify the right context.
