When you need Claude to spin up specialized instances that handle focused tasks autonomously, this is your guide. It walks through the `/agents` workflow, shows you how to write strong system prompts with pure XML structure (no markdown headings in the body), and explains the critical constraint: subagents can't interact with users. They're black boxes that use tools like Read, Write, and Bash, then return their output to the main conversation. The skill includes practical patterns for splitting work between main chat (gathering requirements, presenting options) and subagents (research, code generation, analysis). Covers project versus user level agents, tool configuration, and model selection.

Subagents are specialized Claude instances that run in isolated contexts with focused roles and limited tool access. This skill teaches you how to create effective subagents, write strong system prompts, configure tool access, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows using the Task tool.

Subagents enable delegation of complex tasks to specialized agents that operate autonomously without user interaction, returning their final output to the main conversation.

<quick_start>

  1. Run /agents command
  2. Select "Create New Agent"
  3. Choose project-level (.claude/agents/) or user-level (~/.claude/agents/)
  4. Define the subagent:
    • name: lowercase-with-hyphens
    • description: When should this subagent be used?
    • tools: Optional comma-separated list (inherits all if omitted)
    • model: Optional (sonnet, opus, haiku, or inherit)
  5. Write the system prompt (the subagent's instructions)
```markdown --- name: code-reviewer description: Expert code reviewer. Use proactively after code changes to review for quality, security, and best practices. tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash model: sonnet --- ```
