Sub-Agents

Overseer can dynamically spawn specialized sub-agents for complex tasks that benefit from focused expertise.

How It Works

When the main agent encounters a complex task, it can spawn a sub-agent with specialized knowledge:

"Deploy my app" → Spawns DeployAgent
"Audit security" → Spawns SecurityAgent
"Optimize database" → Spawns DatabaseAgent

Sub-agents have:

• Specialized system prompts focused on their domain
• Relevant tools for their task type
• Isolated context to prevent confusion
• Results returned to the main agent for synthesis

Configuration

Sub-agents are configured in src/agent/subagents/ and can use the same or different LLM providers as the main agent.
