SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegate work to sub-agents to avoid bottlenecks and speed up complex thinking workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creating a working agent: delegate a task by creating a sub-agent with a descriptive name and an initial instruction.
  • Creating a verifying agent: spawn a second agent to validate the work after completion.
  • Useful mng commands: a quick reference to list, message, destroy, exec, and connect workflows.
  • Guidelines: best practices for naming tasks, including success criteria, and safe cleanup.

Quick Start

Create a sub-agent for a task by running mng create <task-name> --message 'Your task instructions here'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate tasks to sub-agents in an automated workflow?▼

You can delegate tasks to sub-agents by running the 'mng create' command with a descriptive task name and an initial instruction prompt to initiate the working agent.

What is the best way to automate agent verification after a task is complete?▼

Automate agent verification by spawning a second verifying sub-agent to validate the working agent's output, ensuring task delivery meets the initial success criteria without bottlenecks.

Can I use sub-agent orchestration for feature development and bug fixes?▼

Yes, sub-agent orchestration is applicable for feature development, bug fixes, and research summaries by having a thinking agent guide task creation, messaging, and verification workflows.

What mng commands are available for managing sub-agents?▼

Available mng commands allow you to list, message, destroy, exec, and connect workflows, providing a quick reference to manage sub-agent lifecycles and task messaging.

How do I safely clean up sub-agents after task completion?▼

Safely clean up sub-agents by following established guidelines for destroying completed tasks, ensuring no orphaned processes remain after the verifying agent confirms the work.

What are the best practices for naming tasks when delegating work to sub-agents?▼

Best practices for naming tasks involve using clear, descriptive names and including explicit success criteria in the initial prompt to guide the working and verifying agents effectively.
