delegation

You delegate complex tasks by assigning them to specialized subagents for synchronous execution, or spawn background workers using startAsyncSubagent for non-blocking autonomous processing.

Running parallel tasks and background processing is best handled by orchestrating multiple subagents within a session plan, enabling autonomous work and reducing manual orchestration for faster outcomes.

To follow up with an async subagent and check status updates later, use the messageSubagent and messageSubagentAndGetResponse functions to handle later interaction loops and retrieve results.

Yes, you can use session plans (.local/session_plan.md) to coordinate multi-step tasks across multiple subagents, ensuring context is preserved across agents during autonomous execution.

You provide skill references and files to a delegated subagent by using the optional relevantFiles parameter, which exposes the necessary references for accessing skills during autonomous task execution.
