Subagents

Split a job into local Task workers that run in parallel on this machine.

The parent agent can spawn Task subagents. Several can run at once. Progress mirrors back into the main transcript. You stay on the review loop for file changes.

Built-in types

  • explore — codebase search specialist (Read, Grep, Glob, SemanticSearch)
  • shell — focused on Shell + Await
  • generalPurpose — full tool surface
  • debug — investigation with evidence
  • browser-use — browser actions through an MCP browser server you attach
  • computerUse — GUI via Computer Use (Windows-first)
  • eyeban-guide — product/docs lookup

Custom personalities live under .eyeban/agents.

How to use them

The parent writes a narrow brief. Explore in parallel, then assemble. Prefer Grep yourself for a single symbol; use explore when the tree is large and the question is broad.

What this is not

Local workers inside the desktop app. No remote VM cloud agents, no review bots, no “send this repo to a datacenter worker.”
