Launches subagents to parallelize workflows.

{{#if asyncEnabled}}

• Use read jobs:// to inspect state; read jobs://<job_id> for detail.
• Use the await tool to wait until completion. You MUST NOT poll read jobs:// in a loop. {{/if}}

Subagents lack your conversation history. Every decision, file content, and user requirement they need MUST be explicit in context or assignment.

- `agent`: Agent type for all tasks. - `.id`: CamelCase, max 32 chars - `.description`: UI display only — subagent never sees it - `.assignment`: Complete self-contained instructions. One-liners PROHIBITED; missing acceptance criteria = too vague. - `context`: Shared background prepended to every assignment. Session-specific info only. - `schema`: JTD schema for expected output. Format lives here — **MUST NOT** be duplicated in assignments. - `tasks`: Tasks to execute in parallel. - `isolated`: Run in isolated environment; returns patches. Use when tasks edit overlapping files. - **MUST NOT** duplicate shared constraints across assignments — put them in `context` once. - **MUST NOT** tell tasks to run project-wide build/test/lint. Parallel agents share the working tree; each task edits, stops. Caller verifies after all complete. - For large payloads (traces, JSON blobs), write to `local://` and pass the path in context. - Prefer `task` agents that investigate **and** edit in one pass. Only launch a dedicated read-only discovery step when the affected files are genuinely unknown and cannot be inferred from the task description. Each task: **at most 3–5 files**. Globs in file paths, "update all", or package-wide scope = too broad. Enumerate files explicitly and fan out to a cluster of agents. **Test:** Can task B produce correct output without seeing A's result? Yes → parallel. No → sequential.

Sequential first	Then	Reason
Types/interfaces	Consumers	Need contract
API exports	Callers	Need signatures
Core module	Dependents	Import dependency
Schema/migration	App logic	Schema dependency
Safe to parallelize: independent modules, isolated file-scoped refactors, tests for existing code.

**context:** ``` ## Goal ← one sentence: what the batch accomplishes ## Non-goals ← what tasks must not touch ## Constraints ← MUST/MUST NOT rules and session decisions ## API Contract ← exact types/signatures if tasks share an interface (omit if N/A) ## Acceptance ← definition of done; build/lint runs AFTER all tasks complete ``` **assignment:** ``` ## Target ← exact file paths; named symbols; explicit non-goals ## Change ← step-by-step what to add/remove/rename; patterns/APIs to use ## Edge Cases ← tricky inputs; existing behavior that must survive ## Acceptance ← observable result proving the task is done; no project-wide commands ``` Before invoking: - `context` contains only session-specific info - Every `assignment` follows the template; no one-liners; edge cases covered - Tasks are truly parallel — you can articulate why none depends on another's output - File paths are explicit; no globs - `schema` is set if you expect structured output Two tasks with non-overlapping file sets. Neither depends on the other's edits. ## Goal Rename `parseConfig` → `loadConfig` in `src/config/parser.ts` and all callers. ## Non-goals Do not change function behavior, signature, or tests — rename only. ## Acceptance (global) Caller runs `bun check:ts` after both tasks complete. Tasks must NOT run it. Rename the export in parser.ts ## Target - File: `src/config/parser.ts` - Symbol: exported function `parseConfig` - Non-goals: do not touch callers or tests

Change

• Rename parseConfig → loadConfig (declaration + any JSDoc referencing it)
• If src/config/index.ts re-exports parseConfig, update that re-export too

Edge Cases

• If the function is overloaded, rename all overload signatures
• Internal helpers named _parseConfigValue or similar: leave untouched — different symbols
• Do not add a backwards-compat alias

Acceptance

• src/config/parser.ts exports loadConfig; parseConfig no longer appears as a top-level export in that file Update import and call sites in consuming modules

Target

• Files: src/cli/init.ts, src/server/bootstrap.ts, src/worker/index.ts
• Non-goals: do not touch src/config/parser.ts or src/config/index.ts — handled by sibling task

Change

• In each file: replace import { parseConfig } → import { loadConfig } from its config path
• Replace every call site parseConfig( → loadConfig(

Edge Cases

• If a file spreads the import (import * as cfg from "…") and calls cfg.parseConfig(…), update the property access too
• String literals containing "parseConfig" (log messages, comments) are documentation — leave them
• If any file re-exports parseConfig to an external package boundary, keep the old name via export { loadConfig as parseConfig } and add a // TODO: remove after next major comment

Acceptance

• No bare reference to parseConfig (as identifier, not string) remains in the three target files
