## When to spawn ## When to spawn
- A task can be decomposed into N independent subtasks that share no state When a task has N independent subtasks that each require multi-step reasoning or multiple tool calls, spawn N subagents and run them in parallel rather than executing sequentially. Do not wait until one subtask is done to start the next if they share no state.
- You want to run the same prompt against multiple inputs in parallel
Spawn when:
- A task decomposes into N independent subtasks, each requiring reasoning or multiple tool calls
- You are processing N items (files, repos, hosts) with the same operation
- A subtask is better handled by a different agent (different model, backend, or system prompt) - A subtask is better handled by a different agent (different model, backend, or system prompt)
- You want to isolate a long-running or risky operation from the current session - You want to isolate a long-running or risky operation from the current session
Use `execute_code` parallel steps instead when the subtasks are single shell commands. Subagents are for agent-level work; parallel code steps are for parallel shell execution.
