SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Platform detection and adaptive spawning for multi-surface orchestration across CLI, VS Code, JetBrains, and others.

Core Features & Use Cases

Platform Detection: Identify the active surface (CLI, VS Code, or fallback) and switch spawning behavior accordingly.
VS Code Spawn Adaptations: Use appropriate subagents and parallelism to maximize responsiveness on VS Code.
CLI Dominant Workflow: Leverage task-based spawning when available for richer parameter control.
Fallback Inline Mode: Execute directly when surface tools are unavailable, ensuring continuity.

Quick Start

Detect the current platform and spawn the appropriate agents, then coordinate results across CLI, VS Code, or inline modes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect the host platform and adapt agent spawning for CLI and VS Code?▼

Platform detection identifies the active surface, such as CLI or VS Code, and switches agent spawning behavior accordingly. It enforces compatibility by validating tool presence and preferring CLI tools when available.

What is the best way to handle cross-platform agent spawning when surface tools are unavailable?▼

Cross-platform agent spawning uses a fallback inline mode to execute tasks directly when surface tools are unavailable. This ensures continuity by operating within the detected host surface without relying on external tooling.

Does VS Code support parallel agent spawning for automation workflows?▼

VS Code supports parallel agent spawning by applying platform-specific adaptations. It uses appropriate subagents and parallelism strategies to maximize responsiveness during automation workflows.

Can I use CLI dominant workflows for richer parameter control in multi-surface orchestration?▼

CLI dominant workflows leverage task-based spawning to provide richer parameter control. The coordinator prefers CLI tools when available and validates their presence before execution to enforce compatibility.

Why does agent spawning fail when switching between CLI and editor environments?▼

Agent spawning fails when platform detection cannot validate the required tool presence before execution. The coordinator enforces compatibility by checking the active surface and falling back to inline mode if tools are missing.
