A subagent is a helper that Claude Code starts to do one focused job. This one is Claude Test's code mapper: the Claude Test run skill starts it only on a first run to map the app's source code, and it is not meant for general tasks.\n\nIt can only read, search and list files, and its instructions forbid reading credential files or anything outside the project folder. The plugin's runner agent is still there.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe first exploration of your code during a Claude Test run is done by an agent that cannot change files and is told to stay inside your project.\n\n- Area: Claude Test\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
