Subagents are specialized AI assistants that enhance Claude Code's capabilities by providing task-specific expertise. They act as dedicated helpers that Claude Code can call upon when encountering particular types of work.
Independent Context Windows
Every subagent operates within its own isolated context space, preventing cross-contamination between different tasks and maintaining clarity in the primary conversation thread.
Domain-Specific Intelligence
Subagents come equipped with carefully crafted instructions tailored to their area of expertise, resulting in superior performance on specialized tasks.
Shared Across Projects
After creating a subagent, you can utilize it throughout various projects and distribute it among team members to ensure consistent development practices.
Granular Tool Permissions
You can configure each subagent with specific tool access rights, enabling fine-grained control over which capabilities are available for different task types.
- Memory Efficiency: Isolated contexts prevent the main conversation from becoming cluttered with task-specific details
- Enhanced Accuracy: Specialized prompts and configurations lead to better results in specific domains
- Workflow Consistency: Team-wide subagent sharing ensures uniform approaches to common tasks
- Security Control: Tool access can be restricted based on subagent type and purpose
1. Access the Subagent Manager
/agents2. Create Your Subagent
- Choose between project-specific or global subagents
- Let Claude generate an initial version, then refine it to your needs
- Provide detailed descriptions of the subagent's purpose and activation triggers
- Configure tool access (leave empty to inherit all available tools)
- Customize the system prompt using the built-in editor (press
e)
3. Deploy and Utilize Your subagent becomes immediately available. Claude Code will automatically engage it when suitable, or you can explicitly request its help:
> Have the code-reviewer subagent analyze my latest commits
| Type | Path | Availability | Precedence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Subagents | .claude/agents/ |
Current project only | Higher |
| Global Subagents | ~/.claude/agents/ |
All projects | Lower |
Note: When naming conflicts occur, project-specific subagents override global ones.
- Place subagent files in
.claude/agents/within your project - Claude Code automatically detects and loads the subagents
- Invoke them naturally in conversation or let Claude decide when to use them
Step 1: Launch the Agent Interface
/agentsStep 2: Choose "Create New Agent"
- Decide on project-level (current project) or user-level (all projects) scope
Step 3: Configure Your Agent
- Recommended approach: Let Claude draft an initial version, then customize
- Write a comprehensive description of the agent's role and activation scenarios
- Grant specific tool permissions (or leave blank for full access)
- Browse available tools through the interface for easy selection
- Edit the system prompt directly by pressing
efor advanced customization
Step 4: Save and Start Using
- Your agent is instantly ready for use
- Claude automatically delegates appropriate tasks to it
- Or manually invoke it:
> Ask the code-reviewer agent to examine my pull request
