Agent Development

Create effective Claude Code agents.

Agent Colors

Agents support color assignments for visual distinction. Set in YAML frontmatter:

yaml

---
name: explore
description: Explores codebases
color: purple
---

Color Conventions

Color	Agent Type	Purpose
Purple	Explore	Codebase exploration, documentation
Blue	Plan	Analysis, planning, architecture
Green	Create	Testing, creation, validation
Orange	Debug	Debugging, refactoring
Yellow	Clean	Optimization, cleanup
Red	Reflect	Security, critical review
Pink	-	Available
Cyan	-	Orchestration, coordination

Agent Behavior

Permission Denial Resilience

Subagents continue after permission denial rather than stopping entirely. When a subagent hits a permissions wall, it tries alternative approaches automatically. This makes autonomous workflows more resilient and reduces the need for human intervention.

Important

After creating or modifying agents, inform the user:

No restart needed. Agent changes take effect immediately - agents are hot-reloaded.
