What is the main difference between a Claude Agent and a Skill?

Agents are explicitly launched via the Task tool for isolated, multi-step tasks, while Skills are automatically activated based on the conversation context to provide guidance.

Can I use different AI models for different agents?

Yes, you can specify the model (such as haiku for simple tasks or opus for complex reasoning) directly in the agent's frontmatter configuration.

How do I restrict an agent's access to specific tools?

You can define a 'tools' allowlist in the agent's YAML frontmatter to limit access to specific functions like Read, Grep, or Glob, preventing unauthorized file writes or shell commands.

Where should I store my custom agent files?

Agents are stored as markdown files in the /agents/ directory for plugins or the .claude/agents/ directory for user-level configurations.

开发者工具

Streamlines the creation and configuration of specialized, autonomous agents for complex Claude Code workflows.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for developing custom agents within Claude Code, allowing developers to define specialized behaviors, restrict tool access, and optimize workflows for specific tasks. By utilizing agents, users can isolate complex multi-step operations—such as security audits, automated testing, or code refactoring—into independent instances that operate with fine-grained control over their environment, model selection, and permissions. It serves as an essential guide for moving beyond simple prompts into sophisticated, autonomous AI task execution.
