Agent Development
Create effective Claude Code agents.
Agent Colors
Agents support color assignments for visual distinction. Set in YAML frontmatter:
---
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.
