subagent/ — subagent capability family
English | 中文
This family lets an agent delegate work to child agents. Multiple named providers may coexist in one context.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
subagent/ |
Defines provider registration, delegation, and continuation | ctx.subagents |
subagent-inprocess/ |
Provides the shared in-process run driver | — |
subagent-spawn-in-process/ |
Starts a fresh in-process child | registers on ctx.subagents |
subagent-fork-in-process/ |
Starts an in-process child from the parent's completed history | registers on ctx.subagents |
subagent-acp/ |
Starts an out-of-process child over ACP | registers on ctx.subagents |
subagent-codex/ |
Starts a real Codex app-server child | registers on ctx.subagents |
subagent-claude-code/ |
Starts a real Claude Code child through the official Claude Agent SDK | registers on ctx.subagents |
subagent-dsh-sdk/ |
Starts an out-of-process Harness child through the TypeScript SDK | registers on ctx.subagents |
tool-subagent/ |
Exposes delegation to the model | registers on ctx.tools |
tool-subagent-control/ |
Exposes child messaging and listing to the model | registers on ctx.tools |
tool-subagent-report/ |
Provides the child-to-parent report channel | registers in child scopes |
The Claude Code package is also an optional Profile Bundle. Install it with dsh plugin --profile <name> add @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-claude-code, then restart that Profile; the package registers only its dormant Host provider. To grant the tool, copy a complete Agent Preset, remove disabled from the matching tool row, and start a new Session. Removing the package withdraws that provider on the next Profile start. The Codex package remains an explicitly mounted Host plugin and uses a host codex from PATH.
