Subagent is an AI Agent in Qoder designed to handle specific tasks. You can create custom Subagents to extend Qoder’s capabilities, with each Subagent having its own independent context window, tool permissions, and system prompt.

​
Create a Subagent

Create a .md file in one of the following locations:
ScopePathAvailability
User-level~/.qoder/agents/<agentName>.mdAll projects
Project-level${project}/.qoder/agents/<agentName>.mdCurrent project only
The file should contain a frontmatter block defining basic information, followed by the system prompt content: 
---
name: code-review

You are a senior code reviewer responsible for ensuring code quality.
