[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:
- The user requests a heavy task: "Spawn a sub-agent to research the top 10 AI startups in London."
- The main agent calls
sessions_spawn, creating an isolated sessioncron:<uuid>. - The sub-agent runs independently, using its own tools (browser, search, etc.).
- Once finished, the sub-agent announces the result back to the main chat.
- 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.
