What is Claude Code Market?
Claude Code Market is a curated collection of specialized AI sub-agents for Claude Code that help developers automate workflows, generate code, and ship products faster. Each agent is designed for specific tasks like frontend development, testing, or DevOps.
How do I install and use an agent?
Installing an agent is simple: browse the marketplace, find an agent you need, copy the installation code snippet, and add it to your Claude Code agents directory. Once installed, you can reference the agent in your conversations with Claude Code.
How much does it cost to use agents?
All agents in Claude Code Market are completely free to download and use. However, you'll need an active Claude API subscription from Anthropic ($20-50/month depending on usage) to run Claude Code. There are no additional fees, subscriptions, or hidden costs for using marketplace agents.
What technology stacks do agents support?
Agents support all major technology stacks including React, Vue, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and more. There are 150+ specialized agents covering frontend, backend, databases, DevOps, testing, and security across multiple languages and frameworks.
Can I use agents in team environments?
Yes! Agents work great in team settings. Multiple developers can use the same agents, and you can customize agent prompts to match your team's coding standards, architecture patterns, and best practices. Many engineering teams use Claude Code Market to standardize development workflows and onboard new developers faster.
How long does it take to learn to use agents effectively?
Most developers are productive with agents within 1-2 hours. The learning curve is minimal: install an agent, reference it in your Claude Code conversation, and start building. Advanced techniques like agent customization and prompt optimization can be learned over the first week of use. Our documentation includes step-by-step guides and video tutorials.
Can I submit my own agent?
Absolutely! We encourage community contributions. Click the 'Submit Agent' button in the navigation, fill out the submission form with your agent's details, installation instructions, and usage examples. Our team reviews all submissions to ensure quality.
How is this different from GitHub Copilot?
Claude Code agents are specialized for specific tasks and provide more contextual, task-focused assistance. Unlike general code completion, agents understand entire workflows (like 'build a complete authentication system') and generate production-ready code with tests and documentation.
What's the typical time savings with agents?
Developers report shipping MVPs in 3-7 days instead of 3-6 months. Agents handle boilerplate code, testing, and repetitive tasks, letting you focus on unique business logic. Typical time savings: 60-80% reduction in development time.
Are agents secure and compliant with industry standards?
Yes. Agents are plain markdown files that contain prompts and patterns - they don't execute code or access your systems directly. Claude Code processes agent instructions securely through Anthropic's API. For compliance, agents can help implement GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and security best practices in your code. You maintain full control over what code is generated and deployed.
Do I need coding experience to use agents?
Basic coding knowledge helps, but agents make development accessible to beginners. They generate complete, production-ready code with explanations. Many solo founders with limited technical backgrounds use agents to build and launch products.
What if an agent doesn't work as expected?
If an agent isn't producing the results you need, try being more specific in your prompts, verify the agent file is in the correct directory (~/.claude/agents/), and check you're using the latest version from the marketplace. Our troubleshooting guide covers common issues. You can also customize agent prompts to better fit your needs or contact the agent author through their profile.
