Subagents

Overview

subagents is a built-in spoon-bot skill for operating persistent subagents without prompt-derived routing.

The runtime must not infer subagent creation, selection, or routing from arbitrary user text. Use explicit tool or API operations instead.

Operating Rules

1. Create persistent subagents only through the subagent tool or an API endpoint that carries structured fields such as action, agent_name, description, and config.
2. Do not parse user prose with regular expressions to decide whether to create or route to a subagent.
3. Do not auto-route top-level user requests to persistent subagents based on keywords.
4. If the user asks for a subagent in plain language, answer with the explicit tool/API action you are going to take, then call that explicit action.
5. Keep persistent subagent invocation separate from normal chat execution unless the user explicitly invokes a named subagent through a supported tool/API path.

Safe Creation Checklist

Before creating a persistent subagent, resolve these structured fields:

• agent_name: stable identifier chosen by the operator or generated by the tool
• description: concise responsibility statement
• tool_profile: requested tool access profile
• allow_subagents: whether nested subagents are allowed
• timeout_seconds: execution timeout for runs

Non-Goals

• No natural-language trigger regexes
• No keyword matching from arbitrary prompts
• No automatic dispatch based on prior assistant menus or numbered replies
