delegation

To delegate tasks asynchronously, use the startAsyncSubagent interface to run background tasks, then collect structured results later without blocking your main workflow.

Coordinating multi-task workflows requires referencing full task context via fromPlan, allowing specialized subagents to execute planned tasks in parallel and return structured results.

You can send follow-up messages to running background subagents using messageSubagent for non-blocking updates, or messageSubagentAndGetResponse when you need a synchronous reply.

Use synchronous delegation via the subagent interface when you need immediate task execution and results, rather than using startAsyncSubagent for non-blocking background processing.

A session plan is not strictly required, but using fromPlan provides full task context for coordinating multiple tasks, enabling autonomous execution across session-planned workflows.

Asynchronous subagent orchestration handles multi-task workflows and follow-up interactions, but complex real-time dependencies may require synchronous messageSubagentAndGetResponse calls to retrieve immediate results.
