FAQPage Schema
How do I get a second opinion on my code using a stateless agent?

To get a stateless second opinion, you can dispatch a stateless Bash sub-agent to review your code. This provides an independent perspective without retaining memory of previous sessions, ensuring a completely fresh evaluation.

Can I use a Bash sub-agent for parallel research and debugging?

Yes, you can dispatch a Bash sub-agent for parallel research and debugging. It operates in an isolated sandbox environment, making it ideal for exploratory research and tackling debugging sessions independently.

What is a stateless coding sub-agent used for?

A stateless coding sub-agent is used for cross-model code reviews, debugging, and research. It processes each task with a fresh perspective and no memory of past interactions, returning results via a structured output protocol.

Does dispatching a sub-agent require environment isolation?

Yes, dispatching this sub-agent enforces environment isolation and safe prompt design. This ensures that the stateless coding tasks run securely within an isolated sandbox without unintended side effects.

How do I control reasoning effort when running a code review agent?

You can control the reasoning effort during a code review by using the sub-agent's structured interaction protocol. This protocol includes specific controls for model selection and reasoning effort to tailor the evaluation.

When should I not use a stateless sub-agent for programming tasks?

You should not use a stateless sub-agent when your programming task requires retaining memory of previous interactions or context. It is designed strictly for fresh perspective evaluations like cross-model reviews and isolated debugging.
