What is it?
This repository is a curated library of Claude Code subagents, each a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter that defines a specialized assistant's name, when it should be invoked, its tool access, and its model. The subagents are grouped into ten categories such as core development, language specialists, infrastructure, quality and security, data and AI, and developer experience, and each category is also published as a Claude Code plugin.
Users can install agents in several ways: adding the repository as a plugin marketplace, copying individual files into ~/.claude/agents/ or a project's .claude/agents/ directory, or running an interactive or standalone shell installer that browses and installs agents from GitHub. A subagent-catalog skill is also included for searching and fetching definitions from inside Claude Code.
The agents are provided as is, without security audits or guarantees, so the maintainers recommend reviewing each definition before use. Tool permissions are kept minimal per role, with read-only reviewers limited to Read, Grep and Glob.
