Delegate independent subtasks to parallel subagents (explore for deep search, shell for commands) instead of doing large research or exploration inline.

About

subagents guides an agent on when and how to delegate work to parallel subagents rather than doing everything inline. It suits independent subtasks, large research or exploration that would otherwise clutter the main thread, and cases needing a specialized agent type such as explore for deep search or shell for system commands. A solo builder uses it to keep a long agent run focused and to fan out work that has a clear deliverable and no dependency on the current thread.

  • Run independent subtasks in parallel
  • Keep large research separate from the main thread
  • Use specialized agent types like explore and shell
