Unclear The maximum allowed name length is not stated.
What
Agent definition files describe custom subagents, helper agents Claude Code can hand tasks to. When one has a name longer than the maximum allowed length, Claude Code now logs an error and skips that agent. Agent names had no length limit before.
Why
An existing agent file with a very long name stops loading, and the only sign is an error in the log. If one of your agents goes missing, shorten its name.
