+# @trailstep/sub-agents
+
+`@trailstep/sub-agents` is a public package of reusable TrailStep workflows for bounded delegated sub-agent work. The workflows share one durable delegate engine with run-local memory, typed outputs, optional parent/human questions, terminal summaries, and managed worktree support.
+
+## Workflows
+
+- `delegate`: default registered id `delegate`; flexible generic delegate with run-local continuity, optional parent/human questions, and typed results.
+- `delegateExplore`: default registered id `delegateExplore`; read-oriented investigation with explore defaults.
+- `delegateSimpleExplore`: default registered id `delegateSimpleExplore`; narrow, low-cost read-only lookup delegate.
+- `delegateArchitectPlanner`: default registered id `delegateArchitectPlanner`; read-only scout for likely edit targets and seams.
+- `delegateReview`: default registered id `delegateReview`; focused review with edit-avoidant guidance.
+- `delegateImplement`: default registered id `delegateImplement`; bounded implementation with a larger turn budget.
+- `delegateQuickImplementor`: default registered id `delegateQuickImplementor`; localized mechanical implementation delegate.
+- `delegateSmartImplementor`: default registered id `delegateSmartImplementor`; complex implementation/refactor delegate.
+- `delegateRelentlessDebugger`: default registered id `delegateRelentlessDebugger`; validation/test/lint failure repair delegate.
+- `delegateSchemaFormatter`: default registered id `delegateSchemaFormatter`; exact JSON/XML/schema-formatting delegate.
+- `delegateParallel`: default registered id `delegateParallel`; parent-agent fan-out for required task ids/modes/text using the existing delegate workflows in parallel.
+
+The delegate workflows end with completed/blocked/cancelled status, summary/result text, changed files/artifacts, turn/question counts, optional worktree lifecycle details, and a terminal message readable with `trailstep output <runName> --message`. `delegateParallel` returns the raw parallel branch outputs; final aggregation/merge is intentionally left to the parent.
+
+## Recommended setup
+
+Install the TrailStep CLI if you do not already have it, then use the interactive setup from your project root:
+
+```bash
+npm install --global @trailstep/cli
+trailstep init
+trailstep add @trailstep/sub-agents@latest
+```
+
+Choose **project** scope, select the workflows you want, and add project skills when prompted. Project skills let supported coding agents discover and run the workflows from the agent UI.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Scriptable setup</summary>
+
+```bash
+# Initialize config and install the packaged TrailStep usage skill.
+trailstep init --scope project --install-skill
+
+# Preview without installing, registering, or writing skills.
+trailstep add @trailstep/sub-agents@latest --scope project --workflow "*" --project-skill --dry-run
+
+# Install/register delegate workflows and generate project skills.
+trailstep add @trailstep/sub-agents@latest --scope project --workflow "*" --project-skill --yes
+```
+
+</details>
+
+Run registered workflows directly if you prefer the CLI:
+
+```bash
+trailstep project/delegate --task "Investigate failing parser tests" --mode explore
+trailstep project/delegateExplore --task "Map the parser failure area"
+trailstep project/delegateReview --task "Review the parser fix"
+trailstep project/delegateImplement --task "Fix parser path normalization"
+trailstep project/delegateSmartImplementor --task "Refactor parser normalization"
+trailstep project/delegateRelentlessDebugger --task "Fix the failing parser tests"
+trailstep project/delegateParallel --input-file delegate-parallel-input.json
+```
+
+## Which delegate should I use?
+
+Use the generic `delegate` when you want to choose `mode`, `maxTurns`, and context explicitly for explore, implement, review, or general work. Use `delegateExplore`, `delegateReview`, or `delegateImplement` when you want focused skill guidance and defaults while reusing the same delegate engine/steps. Use the semantic variants (`delegateSimpleExplore`, `delegateArchitectPlanner`, `delegateQuickImplementor`, `delegateSmartImplementor`, `delegateRelentlessDebugger`, and `delegateSchemaFormatter`) when a parent agent wants a more specific worker persona. Use `delegateParallel` only when the parent already has concrete independent tasks; it does not plan or merge results.
+
+```bash
+trailstep project/delegate --task "Investigate failing parser tests" --mode explore
+```
+
+JSON stdin input is useful for one-shot richer context:
+
+```json
+{
+  "task": "Investigate failing parser tests",
+  "context": "Parser fixtures fail only on Windows paths.",
+  "mode": "explore",
+  "cwd": "./packages/parser",
+  "maxTurns": 6
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+printf '%s\n' '{"task":"Investigate failing parser tests","context":"Parser fixtures fail only on Windows paths.","mode":"explore","cwd":"./packages/parser","maxTurns":6}' | trailstep project/delegate --input-file -
+```
+
+For reusable/debuggable inputs, save the JSON and run:
+
+```bash
+trailstep project/delegate --input-file delegate-input.json
+```
+
+Parallel input uses required stable task ids, modes, and task text. Shared values are defaults, and task-level `delegate`, `cwd`, `maxTurns`, `summarize`, or `worktree` values override them. `delegate` can select `simple-explore`, `architect-planner`, `quick-implementor`, `smart-implementor`, `relentless-debugger`, `fixer`, or `schema-formatter`; omitted delegates fall back to the mode-specific workflows. Managed worktrees default per task to `.trailstep/worktrees/<runName>/<taskId>` and `trailstep/delegate/<runName>/<taskId>`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "context": "Shared repo context for every delegate.",
+  "worktree": { "enabled": true, "baseRef": "main" },
+  "tasks": [
+    { "id": "map-parser", "mode": "explore", "task": "Map parser failure area" },
+    { "id": "fix-parser", "mode": "implement", "task": "Fix path normalization" },
+    { "id": "review-parser", "mode": "review", "task": "Review the parser fix" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Parent-agent tips:
+
+- For simple tasks, pass direct flags such as `--task`, `--mode`, `--cwd`, and `--maxTurns`.
+- For one-shot JSON, pipe it to `--input-file -`; for long/reusable context, write JSON and use a named `--input-file` instead of stuffing the CLI command.
+- Use unique run names for parallel delegates so run-local state does not collide.
+- Use `cwd` for an existing worktree or subdirectory TrailStep should not manage. Use `worktree.enabled=true` to let the delegate create a managed git worktree.
+- Managed worktrees default to `.trailstep/worktrees/<runName>`, branch `trailstep/delegate/<runName>`, and `cleanup="auto"`: clean completed worktrees are removed, while dirty/blocked/unsafe worktrees are kept and reported.
+- The delegate can ask parent/human questions through TrailStep waits. Answer with `trailstep answer <runName> parent-answer --json '{"answer":"..."}'`, then resume with `trailstep continue <runName>`.
+- Watch progress with `trailstep watch`, retry failed turns with `trailstep retry <workflowRef> <runName>`, read typed results with `trailstep output <runName>`, and read the final terminal summary with `trailstep output <runName> --message`.
+
+## Delegate loop
+
+```text
+delegate-turn -> completed/blocked: done
+delegate-turn -> continue: delegate-turn
+delegate-turn -> question: ask-parent -> delegate-turn
+```
+
+The delegate keeps continuity only inside one TrailStep run; separate runs do not share memory. Memory is durable only in `.trailstep/runs/<runName>/state.json` for the active run.
+
+## Managed worktrees
+
+`cwd` and `worktree.enabled` are mutually exclusive execution-location strategies:
+
+- `cwd`: run inside an existing directory/worktree; TrailStep does not manage lifecycle.
+- `worktree.enabled=true`: create a managed git worktree from the project checkout, run delegate turns there, and report cleanup status.
+
+Managed worktree input can include:
+
+```json
+{
+  "worktree": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "path": ".trailstep/worktrees/my-run",
+    "baseRef": "main",
+    "branch": "trailstep/delegate/my-run",
+    "cleanup": "auto",
+    "forceCleanup": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Cleanup behavior:
+
+- `auto`: remove only clean completed worktrees; keep dirty, blocked, or unsafe worktrees.
+- `never`: keep the worktree.
+- `always`: remove clean worktrees; dirty worktrees require `forceCleanup=true`.
+
+Default run-created branches are deleted after safe worktree removal. User-supplied branches are retained and reported.
+
+## Direct package install
+
+If you want to import the workflows from TypeScript or run bundle refs directly after installing them yourself, install the package and its peer dependency:
+
+```bash
+npm install @trailstep/sub-agents @trailstep/authoring
+```
+
+Then direct bundle refs use manifest names:
+
+```bash
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegate --task "Investigate failing parser tests" --mode explore
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateExplore --task "Map the parser failure area"
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateReview --task "Review the parser fix"
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateImplement --task "Fix parser path normalization"
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateSmartImplementor --task "Refactor parser normalization"
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateRelentlessDebugger --task "Fix the failing parser tests"
+trailstep @trailstep/sub-agents#delegateParallel --input-file delegate-parallel-input.json
+```
+
+Use the equivalent install command for your package manager if you use `pnpm`, `yarn`, or `bun`.
