Agent Development for Claude Code FAQs

Question 1

What is the recommended model for a custom agent?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to set the model to 'inherit' in the frontmatter, which allows the agent to use the same model currently active in the parent session.

Question 2

What are the naming conventions for agent identifiers?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

How do I define when an agent should be triggered?

Accepted Answer

Triggering is defined in the agent's markdown frontmatter description field. It must include concrete usage examples with context, user requests, and assistant responses to help Claude identify the right situation.

Question 4

Can I restrict which tools an agent has access to?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the 'tools' field in the agent's frontmatter to specify an array of allowed tools, following the principle of least privilege to enhance security and focus.

Question 5

What is an agent in the context of Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

An agent is an autonomous subprocess within a Claude Code plugin designed to handle complex, multi-step tasks independently, whereas commands are typically for direct user-initiated actions.
