Subagents

Delegating tasks to specialized agents.

Overview

Subagents allow the main agent to delegate tasks to specialized agents:

• Complex research
• Code generation
• Data analysis
• Multi-step tasks

How It Works

Main Agent
    │
    ├─── Research Subagent
    │
    ├─── Coding Subagent
    │
    └─── Analysis Subagent

The main agent can spawn subagents for specific tasks.

Configuration

{
  subagents: {
    enabled: true,
    maxConcurrent: 3,
    timeout: 120000,
    agents: {
      research: {
        model: "claude-3-opus",
        prompt: "You are a research specialist..."
      },
      coding: {
        model: "claude-3-5-sonnet",
        prompt: "You are a coding expert..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Use Cases

Complex Research

Delegate multi-source research to a subagent.

Code Generation

Use a coding-specialized subagent for programming tasks.

Data Analysis

Analyze data with a specialized analysis agent.

Execution

Subagents run asynchronously and return results to the main agent.
