Subagents

Subagents are spawned by the main agent through the spawn-subagent tool for focused exploration, planning, review, or research tasks.

Use them when you need parallel investigation without polluting the main working context.

• Subagents can be spawned in parallel for independent tasks.
• They use a restricted, read-first toolset and are intended for analysis, not direct edits.
• They cannot spawn nested subagents.
• Explore subagents use a fast model profile; most other subagent types use a heavier profile for depth.

• Subagent output quality depends on task framing and provided context.
• Very vague delegation requests can produce shallow findings.
• Use explicit expected output format when you plan to merge multiple subagent results.
