<RuleHeader description="Agent name must match filename" severity="error" :fixable="false" :configurable="false" category="Agents" />
Rule Details
This rule checks that the `name` field in agent frontmatter exactly matches the filename (without the `.md` extension). For example, an agent at `.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md` must have `name: code-reviewer` in its frontmatter. This consistency ensures agents are discoverable and prevents confusion when the filename and configuration disagree about the agent identity.
Incorrect
Agent name does not match filename (file at .claude/agents/code-reviewer.md)

name: review-agent
description: Reviews code for quality

Correct

---

description: Reviews code for quality
---
How To Fix
Either rename the file to match the agent name, or update the `name` field in frontmatter to match the filename (without the `.md` extension).
Options
This rule does not have any configuration options.
