Awesome Claude Code Subagents
This repository serves as the definitive collection of Claude Code subagents, specialized AI assistants designed for specific development tasks.
A note on contributions: We don't accept PRs whose primary purpose is to promote a product, company, or personal project. Subagents must be genuinely useful to Claude Code users and stay vendor-neutral in their content. If you'd like to get your project in front of this community, you can sponsor the repo instead — that's the supported way to surface your work here.

🤖 Understanding Subagents
Subagents are specialized AI assistants that enhance Claude Code's capabilities by providing task-specific expertise. They act as dedicated helpers that Claude Code can call upon when encountering particular types of work.
What Makes Subagents Special?
Independent Context Windows
Every subagent operates within its own isolated context space, preventing cross-contamination between different tasks and maintaining clarity in the primary conversation thread.
Domain-Specific Intelligence
Subagents come equipped with carefully crafted instructions tailored to their area of expertise, resulting in superior performance on specialized tasks.
Shared Across Projects
After creating a subagent, you can utilize it throughout various projects and distribute it among team members to ensure consistent development practices.
Granular Tool Permissions
You can configure each subagent with specific tool access rights, enabling fine-grained control over which capabilities are available for different task types.
Core Advantages
- Memory Efficiency: Isolated contexts prevent the main conversation from becoming cluttered with task-specific details
- Enhanced Accuracy: Specialized prompts and configurations lead to better results in specific domains
- Workflow Consistency: Team-wide subagent sharing ensures uniform approaches to common tasks
- Security Control: Tool access can be restricted based on subagent type and purpose
Getting Started with Subagents
1. Access the Subagent Manager
/agents
2. Create Your Subagent
- Choose between project-specific or global subagents
- Let Claude generate an initial version, then refine it to your needs
- Provide detailed descriptions of the subagent's purpose and activation triggers
- Configure tool access (leave empty to inherit all available tools)
- Customize the system prompt using the built-in editor (press
e)
3. Deploy and Utilize
Your subagent becomes immediately available. Claude Code will automatically engage it when suitable, or you can explicitly request its help:
> Have the code-reviewer subagent analyze my latest commits
Subagent Storage Locations
| Type | Path | Availability | Precedence |
|---|
| Project Subagents | .claude/agents/ | Current project only | Higher |
| Global Subagents | ~/.claude/agents/ | All projects | Lower |
Note: When naming conflicts occur, project-specific subagents override global ones.
📖 Subagent Structure
Each subagent follows a standardized template:
---
name: subagent-name
description: When this agent should be invoked
tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep
model: sonnet
---
You are a [role description and expertise areas]...
[Agent-specific checklists, patterns, and guidelines]...

## Development Workflow

Tool Assignment Philosophy
Smart Model Routing
Each subagent includes a model field that automatically routes it to the right Claude model — balancing quality and cost:
| Model | When It's Used | Examples |
|---|
opus | Deep reasoning — architecture reviews, security audits, financial logic | security-auditor, architect-reviewer, fintech-engineer |
sonnet | Everyday coding — writing, debugging, refactoring | python-pro, backend-developer, devops-engineer |
haiku | Quick tasks — docs, search, dependency checks | documentation-engineer, seo-specialist, build-engineer |
You can override any agent's model by editing the model field in its frontmatter. Set model: inherit to use whatever model your main conversation is using.
Tool Assignment Philosophy
Each subagent's tools field specifies Claude Code built-in tools, optimized for their role:
- Read-only agents (reviewers, auditors):
Read, Grep, Glob - analyze without modifying
- Research agents (analysts, researchers):
Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, WebSearch - gather information
- Code writers (developers, engineers):
Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep - create and execute
- Documentation agents (writers, documenters):
Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch - document with research
Each agent has minimal necessary permissions. You can extend agents by adding MCP servers or external tools to the tools field.
