Create effective Claude Code agents.
Create effective Claude Code agents.
Agents support color assignments for visual distinction. Set in YAML frontmatter:
---
name: explore
description: Explores codebases
color: purple
---
| 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 |
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.
After creating or modifying agents, inform the user:
No restart needed. Agent changes take effect immediately - agents are hot-reloaded.
