What is the difference between an agent and a skill in Claude Code?

Agents are specialized, isolated assistants meant for delegated tasks with their own context, whereas skills are 'always-on' capabilities that provide context-aware assistance automatically.

How do I determine which tool permissions to give an agent?

Follow the principle of least privilege: start with 'Read, Grep, Glob' for research, add 'Write, Edit' for code modification, and only add 'Bash' if system operations are strictly necessary.

Can a Claude Code subagent spawn another subagent?

No, subagents have a critical limitation where they cannot use the Task tool to spawn additional subagents. Orchestration of multiple agents should be handled by a skill.

Where are my custom agent files stored?

Agent files are stored as Markdown files in .claude/agents/ for project-level access, or ~/.claude/agents/ for user-level global access.
