SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create, edit, list, move, and delete subagents and manage skill packages across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode without manually learning each platform’s file layout and instruction conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subagent lifecycle management: create subagents (with tools/model/permissions), edit their frontmatter/prompts, list what’s available, move between user and project scopes, and delete them when you explicitly confirm.
  • Cross-agent instruction handling: updates the correct instruction locations for Claude Code (markdown subagents) and Codex CLI/OpenCode (AGENTS.md conventions and skill packaging expectations).
  • Operational safety guardrails: enforces a confirmation requirement before any deletion operation to prevent accidental loss of agent definitions.

Quick Start

Ask your AI agent to list your current subagents in the project scope, then generate a new read-only “explorer”-style subagent for reviewing code without making changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage subagents across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode?▼

Managing subagents across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode involves updating the correct user/project instruction locations and AGENTS.md conventions. This skill automates creating, listing, moving, and editing agent definitions while ensuring correct YAML frontmatter schema usage.

What is the safest way to delete a subagent definition in my project?▼

Deleting a subagent definition safely requires explicit user confirmation before the operation executes. This skill enforces operational safety guardrails to prevent accidental loss of agent definitions, pausing all deletion tasks until you explicitly approve the removal.

How do I create a read-only subagent for reviewing code without making changes?▼

Creating a read-only subagent for reviewing code requires defining specific tools, model parameters, and permissions in the YAML frontmatter. This skill handles subagent lifecycle management by generating the correct configuration files for your desired agent scope and permissions.

Does this subagent configuration tool support moving agents between user and project scopes?▼

Yes, subagent configuration supports moving agents between user and project scopes. This skill updates the correct instruction locations for each platform, ensuring persistent agent behaviors are maintained when relocating definitions across Claude Code and Codex CLI environments.

Why do I need YAML frontmatter when configuring specialized agents?▼

YAML frontmatter is required when configuring specialized agents to define their tools, model, and permissions. This skill ensures correct YAML frontmatter and schema usage, applying the necessary metadata for persistent agent behaviors across different instruction layouts.

Can I use this skill to list all available subagents before generating new ones?▼

Yes, you can list all available subagents before generating new ones. This skill supports listing operations via provided scripts, allowing you to review existing agent definitions in the project scope before creating new specialized configurations.
