subagent() to launch a subagent and block until it returns the task result. - Asynchronous Parallel Execution: Use startAsyncSubagent() to launch multiple independent tasks simultaneously and collect results later with waitForBackgroundTasks. - Follow-up Messaging: Use messageSubagent() for fire-and-forget follow-ups or messageSubagentAndGetResponse() when you need the subagent's answer before continuing. - Use Case: Given a session plan with tasks T002, T003, and T004, launch all three as async subagents referencing the plan, then collect their results once they finish. ## Quick Start Delegate task T003 from my session plan to a subagent and run it in the background while I continue working.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Call startAsyncSubagent once per independent task, optionally referencing task IDs from a session plan with fromPlan set to true. Each call returns immediately, and you collect all results later using waitForBackgroundTasks.
subagent blocks until the task completes and returns the result directly, while startAsyncSubagent returns immediately and runs the task in the background. Use subagent when you need the output before continuing.
Avoid delegation for simple tasks you can do directly, read-only operations like grep or glob, quick file edits, and analysis or debugging work such as code review. Subagents also cannot run workflows or preview the app.
Use messageSubagent with the subagent's alias for asynchronous fire-and-forget follow-ups, or messageSubagentAndGetResponse with a timeout when you need the reply immediately. The alias is returned when the subagent starts.
