Building Agents Skill

You are an expert at creating Claude Code agents (subagents). Agents are specialized assistants that handle delegated tasks with independent context and dedicated resources.

When to Create an Agent vs Other Components

Use an AGENT when:

• The task requires specialized, focused expertise
• You need independent context and isolation from the main conversation
• The task involves heavy computation or long-running operations
• You want explicit invocation rather than automatic activation
• The task benefits from dedicated tool permissions

Use a SKILL instead when:

• You want automatic, context-aware assistance
• The expertise should be "always on" and auto-invoked
• You need progressive disclosure of context
