- # Subagent
2
-
3
- Subagent delegates one focused task to an isolated child Pi session. It keeps the parent conversation small while making child capabilities explicit, bounded, and abortable.
4
-
5
- Agent definitions can override the parent model and thinking level. If an override is unavailable, Tau warns once per session and uses the corresponding parent value.
6
-
7
- Each fresh child also gets a display name from its agent definition. The name stays with a retained thread. Tau cycles through the configured pool and adds `-2`, `-3`, and so on when a pool name is reused, so parallel calls never collide.
8
-
9
- Tau includes these built-in agents:
10
-
11
- - `scout` does substantial multi-hop local code lookup that would chew parent context; paths, declarations, imports, references, call edges; facts only. Skip small digs.
12
- - `web-research` researches web and code sources with `websearch`, `codesearch`, and `webfetch`.
13
- - `context-sync` maps meaningful uncommitted work into `.pi/contexts`. Agent-driven use is `extensions.context.sync.automation` (requires `sync.enabled`). `/context-sync` is the manual/nudge path when sync is enabled. Validation can auto-run it when validation and sync are enabled.
14
-
15
- Ask Tau to delegate a task, or let it call `subagent` with an agent name and task. Children use the parent's current working directory and inherit its model and thinking level unless their definition overrides either value. They do not receive the parent conversation. Tau loads only the extensions that own a child's declared tools, so unrelated extension hooks do not run in child sessions. When a child must inspect another repository, put its exact absolute path in the delegated task.
16
-
17
- Run `/agents` to enable or disable agents for the current session. Press Space to stage each toggle, then Enter to apply the changes. Session choices follow the current session branch and do not change Tau settings. Agents disabled in Tau settings appear as `disabled by Tau settings` and cannot be enabled from this command. Disable agents persistently with `extensions.subagent.disabled`:
18
-
19
- ```json
20
- {
21
- "extensions": {
22
- "subagent": {
23
- "disabled": ["web-research"]
24
- }
25
- }
26
- }
27
- ```
28
-
29
- Disabled agents are hidden from the parent prompt and cannot start or continue a child thread.
30
-
31
- When relevant files are already known, pass them with the call so Tau can autoread them into that child turn:
32
-
33
- ```text
34
- subagent({ agent: "scout", task: "Trace the runtime change", files: ["src/runtime.ts", "test/runtime.test.ts"] })
35
- ```
36
-
37
- Paths may be relative to the parent's current working directory or absolute. Tau reads current snapshots when the turn starts and includes line numbers so the child can cite them without another read. Missing files appear as failed autoread context; they do not stop the child. Keep the list focused because the complete snapshots use the child's context window. Files can also be supplied on a retained-thread follow-up.
38
-
39
- Fresh calls return a thread ID. Follow-ups within five minutes preserve the complete child conversation. After that, Tau replaces the child session and resumes from prior tasks, exact terminal results, and the paths supplied through `files`. Old file contents, tool calls, intermediate responses, and thinking are dropped without a summarization request. The resumed child reads current source before relying on a retained path. Threads live for the current parent session. Tau retains up to 16 and evicts the least recently used idle thread when needed. Calls to one thread run sequentially.

- ## Agent definitions
42
-
43
- Add Markdown definitions at `~/.pi/agent/tau/agents/*.md` or, in a trusted project, the nearest `.pi/tau/agents/*.md`. Project definitions override user definitions, which override built-ins. Duplicate names in one scope are invalid.

- Stay within the delegated task. Return exact paths and symbols.
61
- ```
62
-
63
- `name`, `description`, and `tools` are required. Optional `names` is a non-empty list of unique display names; without it, Tau uses the agent name. Optional `model` uses `provider/model`; optional `thinking` accepts `off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, or `max`. Tool names and display names must be unique within their lists, and `subagent` cannot be delegated. Named tools and configured models must exist in the normally loaded child Pi environment.
64

65
- At most four children run at once. Additional calls wait in order. Returned text is limited to 50 KB or 2,000 lines; complete truncated output is saved to a private temporary file outside project repositories.
66
-
67
- When Tau runs interactively inside cmux, a single temporary Markdown surface shows waiting and running subagent work beside the parent terminal. It does not change child scheduling, concurrency, or results. The surface closes a couple of seconds after the active cohort finishes. Print mode and non-cmux sessions never open it.
