Create a New Agent

Define a Claude Code subagent persona with a focused purpose, curated tools, assigned skills, and complete documentation following the agent template and registry conventions.

When to Use

• Adding a new specialist agent to the library for a domain not yet covered
• Converting a recurring workflow or prompt pattern into a reusable agent persona
• Creating a domain-specific assistant with curated skills and constrained tools
• Splitting an overly broad agent into focused, single-responsibility agents
• Designing a new team member before composing a multi-agent team

• Required: One-line description of the agent's primary purpose
• Required: Purpose statement explaining the problem the agent solves
• Optional: Model choice (default: sonnet; alternatives: opus, haiku)
• Optional: Priority level (default: normal; alternatives: high, low)
