DeepAgents Harness Skill

Core Capabilities

• Task delegation: Use task to spawn subagents for isolated work.
• Planning: Use write_todos for multi-step tasks and update statuses.
• Filesystem tools: ls, read_file, write_file, edit_file, glob, grep.
• Human-in-the-loop: interrupt_on gates sensitive tools.
• Summarization: History auto-compresses at high token usage.

Operational Guidance

• Delegate early when work can be parallelized (research + analysis + drafting).
• Keep tasks small, with explicit output format.
• Use file tools for structured artifacts and breadcrumbs.
• Prefer short, actionable plans with 3-6 steps.

Common Patterns

• Research: plan → task subagents → synthesize with citations.
• Automation: plan → run sandbox workflow → verify → summarize.
• Comms: draft → confirm → send.
