[EN-B003-004] Parallel Task Delegation with Sub-Agents

  • Date: 2026-02-14
  • Language: EN
  • Category: Automation / Productivity
  • Status: Advanced Feature

💡 Core Concept​

Spawn isolated background agents (sessions_spawn) to handle long-running or complex tasks in parallel without blocking the main chat. This allows for multi-tasking where the "Master" agent orchestrates specialized "Workers."

🛠️ Implementation Details​

  • Agent/Model: Main (Gemini 3 Flash) -> Sub (MiniMax or other cost-effective models)
  • Tools Used: sessions_spawn, /subagents (Slash command)
  • Key Workflow:
    1. The user requests a heavy task: "Spawn a sub-agent to research the top 10 AI startups in London."
    2. The main agent calls sessions_spawn, creating an isolated session cron:<uuid>.
    3. The sub-agent runs independently, using its own tools (browser, search, etc.).
    4. Once finished, the sub-agent announces the result back to the main chat.
    5. The user can monitor progress via /subagents list.

🌟 Unique Value / Insight​

Unlocks true "Agent Orchestration." By delegating noisy or time-consuming chores to sub-agents, the primary session remains clean and responsive. Using cheaper models for sub-agents significantly optimizes API costs for large-scale operations.
