docs: clarify official documentation discrepancies in agent-development skill (#124)
## Summary Adds clarification notes to the agent-development skill explaining documentation discrepancies between this skill and official Claude Code documentation. ## Problem Fixes #123 Users following the agent-development skill may be confused when comparing it to official Claude Code documentation because: 1. The `color` field is documented here but not in the [official sub-agents docs](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/sub-agents) 2. The [plugins-reference.md](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins-reference) shows an older agent format using `capabilities` instead of `tools` ## Solution Added clarification notes in two locations: 1. **Overview section** - Comprehensive note explaining both discrepancies and linking to [anthropics/claude-code#8501](anthropics/claude-code#8501) for upstream tracking 2. **`color` field section** - Brief note pointing back to the overview for details ### Alternatives Considered - Adding a dedicated "Documentation Notes" section: Rejected as it would add too much visual weight for a temporary discrepancy - Only documenting at the `color` field: Rejected as users need context early in the document ## Changes - `plugins/plugin-dev/skills/agent-development/SKILL.md`: Added clarification notes about official documentation discrepancies ## Testing - [x] Linting passes (`markdownlint`) - [x] Links to upstream issue and docs are valid --- 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

> **Important - Field Name Difference:** Agents use `tools` to restrict tool access. Skills use `allowed-tools` for the same purpose. Don't confuse these when switching between component types.

> **Note on Official Documentation:** The `color` field documented in this skill is supported by Claude Code and is generated by the built-in `/agents` command, but it is not yet reflected in the [official sub-agents documentation](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/sub-agents). See [anthropics/claude-code#8501](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8501) for tracking. The [plugins-reference.md](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins-reference) may show an older agent format using a `capabilities` field; for Claude Code plugins, prefer the structure documented in this skill which uses `tools` for tool restrictions.
