What it is

This repository is a curated set of Markdown files, each defining a specialized subagent for Claude Code, Anthropic's coding assistant. Each subagent is tuned for a particular job, such as API design, a programming language, or DevOps work. You copy the files you want into your Claude Code agents folder, or install them as plugins, so Claude can hand off matching tasks to them.

  • Install a language specialist such as typescript-pro or golang-pro into a project's .claude/agents folder
  • Use the interactive installer to browse categories and pick agents
  • Install the voltagent-infra plugin for infrastructure and DevOps help

Great for

  • Developers who already use Claude Code and want specialist helpers for specific languages or frameworks
  • Teams looking for a starting point for their own Claude Code subagent definitions
  • People who want to pick only a few agents rather than install everything

Not ideal for

  • People who do not use Claude Code, since the files are written for its agent format
  • Users who need verified, tested agents for critical production work, because the README does not describe testing or quality review of each agent
Step-by-step guide: how to use Claude Code SubagentsInstall, first run, examples, tips and FAQs

How to get it

  1. 1

    See the README

    You'll need: Claude Code

    Add the marketplace as a Claude Code plugin source

    claude plugin marketplace add VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents

    Install a plugin category (example)

    claude plugin install voltagent-lang

    Clone the repository for the interactive installer

    git clone https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents.git

    Run the interactive installer

    ./install-agents.sh
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Install Claude Code if you have not already
    • Add the marketplace with the plugin command shown in the README
    • Install a category plugin such as voltagent-lang
    • Start Claude Code and ask for a task that matches an installed agent
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Install only the categories you need to keep Claude's agent list manageable
    • Use the agent-installer agent to browse categories and install agents by name from inside Claude Code
    • Copy agents to .claude/agents/ for project-specific use and to ~/.claude/agents/ for global use
    • Install the voltagent-meta orchestration agents alongside other categories, as the README recommends

Downloads

Strengths

  • Large catalog organized into named categories and installable plugins
  • Several install paths, including an interactive script and a standalone installer
  • Permissive MIT license

Trade-offs

  • The README is truncated in what was provided, so the full list and details of each agent were not reviewed
  • Quality and fit of individual agents to your project are not described in the README and need your own testing
  • The README notes the orchestration agents work best when other categories are installed
