subagent-task

What problem does it solve?

It helps you decompose complex, multi-step work into specialized sub-tasks so your main agent can coordinate efficiently and avoid context overload.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Delegation governance: Enforces rules for when and how to spawn sub-agents, including allowed targets and prohibiting unapproved built-in subagents.
• Parallelizable workflows: Supports concurrent sub-agent execution for independent activities such as fact retrieval, log analysis, and plan validation.
• Synthesis & safety checks: Requires the coordinator to synthesize each sub-agent’s output and handle unexpected replies or failures with clear user-facing reporting.
• Use Case: When preparing a PR fix that needs code review, security audit, and test validation, delegate each dimension to the appropriate project agent(s) and merge results into a single actionable response.

Quick Start

Use the subagent-task skill when you have a complex or parallelizable workflow and you need the task tool to invoke specialized project agents while keeping the main agent as the coordinating synthesizer.
