# Agent Development for Claude Code Plugins ## Overview Agents are autonomous subprocesses that handle complex, multi-step tasks independently. Understanding agent structure, triggering conditions, and system prompt design enables creating powerful autonomous capabilities. **Key concepts:** - Agents are FOR autonomous work, commands are FOR user-initiated actions - Markdown file format with YAML frontmatter - Triggering via description field with examples - System prompt defines agent behavior - Model and color customization ## When to Use Use this skill when the user asks to: - Create an agent - Add an agent - Write a subagent - Define agent frontmatter - Decide when to use description examples - Configure agent tools, colors, or model behavior - Design autonomous agent structure, triggering conditions, or system prompts ## When Not to Use Do not use this skill for: - Slash command design - Hook configuration - MCP server setup - General plugin layout questions that belong to `plugin-structure` ## Agent File Structure ### Complete Format ```markdown --- name: agent-identifier description: Use this agent when [triggering conditions].
