creating-subagents

To create subagents, you use a standardized XML-prompt framework that enforces a pure XML structure with explicit role, constraints, workflow, and output_format. This approach ensures safe, deterministic behavior and drives discovery, tooling access, and consistent orchestration across projects.

The best way to standardize subagent orchestration is by using a formal XML-structured system prompt that defines project, user, and plugin-level governance with clear override rules. It includes guidance on memory management, execution models, handoffs, and evaluation patterns to improve reliability.

Yes, you need a pure XML structure to configure tool access and constraints for subagents. The framework requires explicit definitions for roles, workflows, and output formats to guarantee safe and deterministic behavior during task execution and orchestration.

Yes, you can edit and configure existing subagents using the XML-prompt framework. It defines project, user, and plugin-level subagent governance with clear override rules, allowing you to update memory management, execution models, and tool access safely.

When defining subagent workflows with XML, you must adhere to a strict pure XML structure without deviations. The framework enforces explicit role, constraints, workflow, and output_format definitions to prevent non-deterministic behavior and ensure safe orchestration.
