agent-identifier

Defines how to create and structure agents for Claude Code plugins, including frontmatter, system prompts, and best practices.

• Agents are autonomous subprocesses for complex tasks
• Defined by YAML frontmatter with name, description, model, color, and tools
• Triggered by description with examples and commentary
• System prompt guides agent behavior and output

• Must include triggering conditions and examples in description
• Use second person in system prompt
• Define clear responsibilities, process, and output format
• Limit tools via least privilege principle
• Color codes agents by function (blue=analysis, green=success, yellow=caution, red=security)
• Model defaults to inherit unless specific capabilities needed
• Must include edge cases and quality standards
• Examples must show proactive and reactive use cases

1. 1.Choose agent identifier (lowercase, hyphens, 3-50 chars)
2. 2.Write detailed description with examples and commentary
3. 3.Select model (prefer inherit)
4. 4.Assign color based on agent type
5. 5.Define tools if restricting access
6. 6.Write system prompt with clear structure and edge cases
