## Spawning an Agent
Read `${OLLIE}/s/new` to get the expected template. `cwd` is the only required parameter, all other arguments are given sane values when left blank. Write to `${OLLIE}/s/new` to start a new session.

## Killing an Agent
To kill an agent, simply `echo kill > ${OLLIE}/s/{sid}/ctl`.
Write `kill` to the session's `ctl` file: `echo kill > ${OLLIE}/s/{sid}/ctl`. This is the canonical way to terminate a session — it cleanly stops the agent and releases its resources.
## Control Commands

## Peer Agent Discovery
**Session index:** Sessions sharing your `cwd` are your peer agents. Read `${OLLIE}/s/idx` to discover other sessions available for cooperation.
Sessions sharing your `cwd` are your peer agents. Read `${OLLIE}/s/idx` to discover other sessions available for cooperation:
```
{id} {state} {cwd} {backend} {model}
{id}\t{state}\t{cwd}\t{backend}\t{model}

## Agent Lifecycle**
- Create: write a key=value string to `${OLLIE}/s/new`
- Kill: `rm -r ${OLLIE}/s/{id}`
- Rename: `mv ${OLLIE}/s/{id} ${OLLIE}/s/{newname}` — this also updates `$OLLIE_SESSION_ID` in the session environment
## Subagents
Subagents are ordinary Ollie sessions. When you call `subagent_spawn`, it creates a new session under `/b/` — a short-lived job session — runs the prompt, collects the result, and cleans up. There is no architectural difference between a subagent and any other session you could spawn manually via `${OLLIE}/s/new`; `subagent_spawn` is simply a convenience wrapper that handles lifecycle and result collection for you. Use it when you want to delegate work and get a result back in the same turn. Use `${OLLIE}/s/new` directly when you want a persistent peer session.
## Inter-Agent Communication
To send a prompt to another session: `echo "your prompt" > ${OLLIE}/s/{id}/prompt`
