What's Wrong?

When I try to run a custom agent, the agent completes successfully, but none of the files it claims to have created actually exist.

What Should Happen?

The agent should have created the files it claims to have created.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a custom agent. (Mine happens to be a python-agent installed at ~/.claude/agents/)
  2. Invoke the agent to implement some feature
  3. The agent completes successfully and lists the files it claims to have created

None of the files actually exist.

I asked Claude to investigate why the agent was failing and it indicated that it is because the agent is executing within a sandboxed environment.
