-A `coder` sub-agent shares most of the main Agent's tool set: it can run shell commands in the background, maintain todo lists, enter Plan mode, invoke Agent Skills, and dispatch its own nested sub-agents when a task decomposes naturally.

+A `coder` sub-agent shares most of the main Agent's tool set: it can run shell commands in the background, maintain todo lists, enter Plan mode, and invoke Agent Skills. Built-in sub-agents cannot dispatch further sub-agents. By default a custom agent inherits the built-in delegation allowlist (`coder`, `explore`, `plan`), whose members cannot dispatch further either, so delegation chains always terminate — unbounded recursive spawning is impossible without an explicit opt-in. A custom agent can opt into deeper chains by declaring an explicit [`subagents`](#agent-file-format) allowlist. If a sub-agent finishes its turn while background tasks are still running, its run only reports completion after those tasks settle, so the parent receives the result after the underlying work has actually finished.

 Built-in and user tools match by exact, case-sensitive name; entries starting with `mcp__` match MCP tools as globs. Three entry shapes never match anything and are reported with a warning when the profile takes effect: a wildcard outside an `mcp__` pattern (a bare `*` in `disallowedTools` disables nothing), an `mcp__` literal that is not a full `mcp__<server>__<tool>` name (`mcp__github` matches nothing — use `mcp__github__*` for the whole server), and a name no registered or built-in tool has (usually a typo, such as `read` instead of `Read`).

The subagent runs as a same-process loop instance with its own context and wire file. Delegating also keeps the bulk of intermediate file contents out of your own context — you get a conclusion back instead of a pile of dumps.\\n\\nWriting the prompt:\\n- The subagent starts with zero context — it has not seen this conversation. Brief it like a colleague who just walked into the room: state the goal, list what you already know, hand over the specifics.\\n- Lookups (read this file, run that test): put the exact path or command in the prompt. The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn. The completion arrives in a later turn as a synthetic user-role message containing its result — you do not need to poll, sleep, or check on its progress. Continue with other work or respond to the user. Never fabricate or predict what the result will say.\\n\\nDefault to a foreground subagent (omit \`run_in_background\`) when your next step needs its result — foreground hands the result straight back. Reach for \`run_in_background=true\` only when you have other work to do while it runs and do not need its result to proceed. Never launch in the background and then immediately wait on it (by polling \`TaskOutput\`, sleeping, or otherwise): that just blocks the turn for no benefit — run it in the foreground instead.\\n\\n\\nAvailable agent types (pass via subagent_type):\\n- plan: Read-only implementation planning and architecture design. Use this agent when the parent agent needs a step-by-step implementation plan, key file identification, and architectural trade-off analysis before code changes are made.\\n  Tools: Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL\\n- agent: Default agent\\n  Tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, WaitFor, CronCreate, CronList, CronDelete, ReadMediaFile, TodoList, Skill, WebSearch, Agent, AgentSwarm, FetchURL, AskUserQuestion, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, CreateGoal, GetGoal, SetGoalBudget, UpdateGoal, TowerInit, mcp__*\\n- coder: General software engineering agent — the only subagent type with file-editing tools; use it for any delegated task that must modify code. Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\"). When calling this agent, specify the desired thoroughness level: \\"quick\\" for basic searches, \\"medium\\" for moderate exploration, or \\"thorough\\" for comprehensive analysis across multiple locations and naming conventions. Use this agent for any read-only exploration that will clearly require more than 3 search queries.

The output may be truncated if it is too long. If the command exits non-zero, the output ends with a \`Command failed with exit code: N\` line; a command killed by its timeout or interrupted by the user ends with its own message instead.\\n\\nIf \`run_in_background=true\`, the command will be started as a background task and this tool will return a task ID instead of waiting for command completion. When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.

The subagent runs as a same-process loop instance with its own context and wire file. Delegating also keeps the bulk of intermediate file contents out of your own context — you get a conclusion back instead of a pile of dumps.\\n\\nWriting the prompt:\\n- The subagent starts with zero context — it has not seen this conversation. Brief it like a colleague who just walked into the room: state the goal, list what you already know, hand over the specifics.\\n- Lookups (read this file, run that test): put the exact path or command in the prompt. The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn. The completion arrives in a later turn as a synthetic user-role message containing its result — you do not need to poll, sleep, or check on its progress. Continue with other work or respond to the user. Never fabricate or predict what the result will say.\\n\\nDefault to a foreground subagent (omit \`run_in_background\`) when your next step needs its result — foreground hands the result straight back. Reach for \`run_in_background=true\` only when you have other work to do while it runs and do not need its result to proceed.

Use this agent when the parent agent needs a step-by-step implementation plan, key file identification, and architectural trade-off analysis before code changes are made.\\n  Tools: Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL\\n- coder: General software engineering agent — the only subagent type with file-editing tools; use it for any delegated task that must modify code. Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\"). When calling this agent, specify the desired thoroughness level: \\"quick\\" for basic searches, \\"medium\\" for moderate exploration, or \\"thorough\\" for comprehensive analysis across multiple locations and naming conventions. Use this agent for any read-only exploration that will clearly require more than 3 search queries.

The output may be truncated if it is too long. If the command exits non-zero, the output ends with a \`Command failed with exit code: N\` line; a command killed by its timeout or interrupted by the user ends with its own message instead.\\n\\nIf \`run_in_background=true\`, the command will be started as a background task and this tool will return a task ID instead of waiting for command completion. When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.

The subagent runs as a same-process loop instance with its own context and wire file. Delegating also keeps the bulk of intermediate file contents out of your own context — you get a conclusion back instead of a pile of dumps.\\n\\nWriting the prompt:\\n- The subagent starts with zero context — it has not seen this conversation. Brief it like a colleague who just walked into the room: state the goal, list what you already know, hand over the specifics.\\n- Lookups (read this file, run that test): put the exact path or command in the prompt. The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn. The completion arrives in a later turn as a synthetic user-role message containing its result — you do not need to poll, sleep, or check on its progress. Continue with other work or respond to the user.

Reach for \`run_in_background=true\` only when you have other work to do while it runs and do not need its result to proceed. Never launch in the background and then immediately wait on it (by polling \`TaskOutput\`, sleeping, or otherwise): that just blocks the turn for no benefit — run it in the foreground instead.\\n\\n\\nAvailable agent types (pass via subagent_type):\\n- plan: Read-only implementation planning and architecture design. Use this agent when the parent agent needs a step-by-step implementation plan, key file identification, and architectural trade-off analysis before code changes are made.\\n  Tools: Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL\\n- agent: Default agent\\n  Tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, WaitFor, CronCreate, CronList, CronDelete, ReadMediaFile, TodoList, Skill, WebSearch, Agent, AgentSwarm, FetchURL, AskUserQuestion, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, CreateGoal, GetGoal, SetGoalBudget, UpdateGoal, TowerInit, mcp__*\\n- coder: General software engineering agent — the only subagent type with file-editing tools; use it for any delegated task that must modify code. Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\"). When calling this agent, specify the desired thoroughness level: \\"quick\\" for basic searches, \\"medium\\" for moderate exploration, or \\"thorough\\" for comprehensive analysis across multiple locations and naming conventions. Use this agent for any read-only exploration that will clearly require more than 3 search queries.

The output may be truncated if it is too long. If the command exits non-zero, the output ends with a \`Command failed with exit code: N\` line; a command killed by its timeout or interrupted by the user ends with its own message instead.\\n\\nIf \`run_in_background=true\`, the command will be started as a background task and this tool will return a task ID instead of waiting for command completion. When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.

The subagent runs as a same-process loop instance with its own context and wire file. Delegating also keeps the bulk of intermediate file contents out of your own context — you get a conclusion back instead of a pile of dumps.\\n\\nWriting the prompt:\\n- The subagent starts with zero context — it has not seen this conversation. Brief it like a colleague who just walked into the room: state the goal, list what you already know, hand over the specifics.\\n- Lookups (read this file, run that test): put the exact path or command in the prompt. The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn. The completion arrives in a later turn as a synthetic user-role message containing its result — you do not need to poll, sleep, or check on its progress. Continue with other work or respond to the user. Never fabricate or predict what the result will say.\\n\\nDefault to a foreground subagent (omit \`run_in_background\`) when your next step needs its result — foreground hands the result straight back. Reach for \`run_in_background=true\` only when you have other work to do while it runs and do not need its result to proceed.

Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\").

The output may be truncated if it is too long. If the command exits non-zero, the output ends with a \`Command failed with exit code: N\` line; a command killed by its timeout or interrupted by the user ends with its own message instead.\\n\\nIf \`run_in_background=true\`, the command will be started as a background task and this tool will return a task ID instead of waiting for command completion. When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.

The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn. The completion arrives in a later turn as a synthetic user-role message containing its result — you do not need to poll, sleep, or check on its progress. Continue with other work or respond to the user. Never fabricate or predict what the result will say.\\n\\nDefault to a foreground subagent (omit \`run_in_background\`) when your next step needs its result — foreground hands the result straight back. Reach for \`run_in_background=true\` only when you have other work to do while it runs and do not need its result to proceed. Never launch in the background and then immediately wait on it (by polling \`TaskOutput\`, sleeping, or otherwise): that just blocks the turn for no benefit — run it in the foreground instead.\\n\\n\\nAvailable agent types (pass via subagent_type):\\n- plan: Read-only implementation planning and architecture design. Use this agent when the parent agent needs a step-by-step implementation plan, key file identification, and architectural trade-off analysis before code changes are made.\\n  Tools: Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL\\n- agent: Default agent\\n  Tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, WaitFor, CronCreate, CronList, CronDelete, ReadMediaFile, TodoList, Skill, WebSearch, Agent, AgentSwarm, FetchURL, AskUserQuestion, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, CreateGoal, GetGoal, SetGoalBudget, UpdateGoal, TowerInit, mcp__*\\n- coder: General software engineering agent — the only subagent type with file-editing tools; use it for any delegated task that must modify code. Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\"). When calling this agent, specify the desired thoroughness level: \\"quick\\" for basic searches, \\"medium\\" for moderate exploration, or \\"thorough\\" for comprehensive analysis across multiple locations and naming conventions. Use this agent for any read-only exploration that will clearly require more than 3 search queries. Prefer launching multiple explore agents concurrently when investigating independent questions.\\n  Tools: Bash, Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "prompt": { "type": "string", "description": "Full task prompt for the subagent" }, "description": { "type": "string", "description": "Short task description (3-5 words) for UI display" }, "subagent_type": { "description": "One of the available agent types (see \\"Available agent types\\" in this tool description).

When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.

The subagent runs as a same-process loop instance with its own context and wire file. Delegating also keeps the bulk of intermediate file contents out of your own context — you get a conclusion back instead of a pile of dumps.\\n\\nWriting the prompt:\\n- The subagent starts with zero context — it has not seen this conversation. Brief it like a colleague who just walked into the room: state the goal, list what you already know, hand over the specifics.\\n- Lookups (read this file, run that test): put the exact path or command in the prompt. The subagent should not have to search for things you already know.\\n- Investigations (figure out X, find why Y): give the question, not prescribed steps — fixed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.\\n- Do not delegate understanding. If the task hinges on a file path or line number, find it yourself first and write it into the prompt.\\n\\nUsage notes:\\n- When the task continues earlier work a subagent already did, prefer resuming that agent (pass its \`resume\` id) over spawning a fresh instance — the resumed agent keeps its prior context.\\n- A subagent's result is only visible to you, not to the user. When the user needs to see what a subagent produced, summarize the relevant parts yourself in your own reply.\\n- Subagents use a fixed 2-hour timeout. If one times out, resume the same agent instead of starting over.\\n\\nWhen NOT to use Agent: skip delegation for trivial work you can do directly — reading a file whose path you already know, searching a small known set of files, or any task that takes only a step or two. Delegation has a context-handoff cost; it pays off only when the task is substantial enough to outweigh it.\\n\\nOnce a subagent is running, leave that scope to it: do not redo its searches or reads in parallel, and do not abandon it midway and finish the job manually. Both undo the context savings the delegation was meant to buy.\\n\\n\\nWhen \`run_in_background=true\`, the subagent runs detached from this turn.

Use this agent when the parent agent needs a step-by-step implementation plan, key file identification, and architectural trade-off analysis before code changes are made.\\n  Tools: Read, ReadMediaFile, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, FetchURL\\n- coder: General software engineering agent — the only subagent type with file-editing tools; use it for any delegated task that must modify code. Use this agent for non-trivial software engineering work that may require reading files, editing code, running commands, and returning a compact but technically complete summary to the parent agent.\\n  Tools: Bash, CronCreate, CronDelete, CronList, Edit, EnterPlanMode, ExitPlanMode, Glob, Grep, Read, ReadMediaFile, Skill, TaskList, TaskOutput, TaskStop, TodoList, WaitFor, WebSearch, FetchURL, Write, mcp__*\\n- explore: Fast codebase exploration with prompt-enforced read-only behavior. Fast agent specialized for exploring codebases. Use this when you need to quickly find files by patterns (e.g. \\"src/**/*.yaml\\"), search code for keywords (e.g. \\"database connection\\"), or answer questions about the codebase (e.g. \\"how does the auth module work?\\"). When calling this agent, specify the desired thoroughness level: \\"quick\\" for basic searches, \\"medium\\" for moderate exploration, or \\"thorough\\" for comprehensive analysis across multiple locations and naming conventions. Use this agent for any read-only exploration that will clearly require more than 3 search queries.

The output may be truncated if it is too long. If the command exits non-zero, the output ends with a \`Command failed with exit code: N\` line; a command killed by its timeout or interrupted by the user ends with its own message instead.\\n\\nIf \`run_in_background=true\`, the command will be started as a background task and this tool will return a task ID instead of waiting for command completion. When doing that, you must provide a short \`description\`. Background commands default to a 600s timeout and \`timeout\` is capped at 86400s; set \`disable_timeout=true\` only when the task should run without a timeout. You will be automatically notified when the task completes. After starting one, default to returning control to the user instead of immediately waiting on it. Use \`TaskOutput\` only for a non-blocking status/output snapshot — do not wait on a task you just launched, since its completion arrives automatically. Use \`TaskStop\` only if the task must be cancelled. If a human user wants to inspect background tasks themselves, point them to the \`/tasks\` command, which opens an interactive panel; it has no subcommands.\\n\\n**Guidelines for safety and security:**\\n- Each shell tool call will be executed in a fresh shell environment. The shell variables, current working directory changes, and the shell history is not preserved between calls. To run a command in a particular directory, pass the \`cwd\` argument (or use absolute paths) rather than relying on a \`cd\` from an earlier call.\\n- The tool call will return after the command is finished. You shall not use this tool to execute an interactive command or a command that may run forever. For possibly long-running foreground commands, set the \`timeout\` argument in seconds. Foreground commands default to 60s and allow up to 300s. When a foreground command hits its timeout it is moved to the background instead of being killed, and you will be automatically notified when it completes.\\n- Avoid using \`..\` to access files or directories outside of the working directory.\\n- Avoid modifying files outside of the working directory unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n- Never run commands that require superuser privileges unless explicitly instructed to do so.\\n\\n**Guidelines for efficiency:**\\n- Use \`&&\` to chain commands that genuinely depend on each other, e.g. \`npm install && npm test\`. Independent read-only commands (separate \`git show\`, \`ls\`, or status checks) should be issued as separate parallel Bash calls in one response, not chained into a single call — chaining serializes their execution and mixes their output. Do not stitch outputs together with \`echo\` separators.\\n- Use \`;\` to run commands sequentially regardless of success/failure\\n- Use \`||\` for conditional execution (run second command only if first fails)\\n- Use pipe operations (\`|\`) and redirections (\`>\`, \`>>\`) to chain input and output between commands\\n- Always quote file paths containing spaces with double quotes (e.g., cd \\"/path with spaces/\\")\\n- Compose multi-step logic in a single call with \`if\` / \`case\` / \`for\` / \`while\` control flows.\\n- Prefer \`run_in_background=true\` for long-running builds, tests, watchers, or servers when you need the conversation to continue before the command finishes.\\n\\n**Commands available:**\\nThe following common command categories are usually available. Availability still depends on the host, so when in doubt run \`which <command>\` first to confirm a command exists before relying on it.\\n- Navigation and inspection: \`ls\`, \`pwd\`, \`cd\`, \`stat\`, \`file\`, \`du\`, \`df\`, \`tree\`\\n- File and directory management: \`cp\`, \`mv\`, \`rm\`, \`mkdir\`, \`touch\`, \`ln\`, \`chmod\`, \`chown\`\\n- Text and data processing: \`wc\`, \`sort\`, \`uniq\`, \`cut\`, \`tr\`, \`diff\`, \`xargs\`\\n- Archives and compression: \`tar\`, \`gzip\`, \`gunzip\`, \`zip\`, \`unzip\`\\n- Networking and transfer: \`curl\`, \`wget\`, \`ping\`, \`ssh\`, \`scp\`\\n- Version control: \`git\`; for GitHub-hosted work (PRs, issues, CI runs, API queries) prefer the \`gh\` CLI when installed — it carries the user's GitHub auth and can return structured JSON\\n- Process and system: \`ps\`, \`kill\`, \`top\`, \`env\`, \`date\`, \`uname\`, \`whoami\`\\n- Language and package toolchains: \`node\`, \`npm\`, \`pnpm\`, \`yarn\`, \`python\`, \`pip\` (use whichever the project actually relies on)\\n", "parameters": { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "type": "object", "properties": { "command": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1, "description": "The command to execute." }, "cwd": { "description": "The working directory in which to run the command.
