Spawner

Spawn sub-agents for independent work that needs file edits, builds, or long-running tasks. Use when work is too heavy for inline execution. NOT for quick reads, one-liner fixes, or anything under 2 minutes.

Before Spawning

1. Role: Pick ONE — coder, writer, browser-automator, researcher, reviewer.
2. Exit criteria: What artifact proves done? A file path, URL, test result.
3. Context: Only inject files the agent needs. Task description under 2K tokens.

Model Routing

All sub-agents use free models (groq-llama → cerebras-llama → nim-llama → or-scout). Never spawn on premium models unless explicitly requested.

Task Template

text

You are a [ROLE]. Your job: [ONE SENTENCE].
Files you need: [LIST PATHS]
Exit criteria: [ARTIFACT]
If stuck after 2 attempts, STOP and report what failed.

After Completion

• Verify output file exists. If missing, retry inline or on fallback.
• Read only output files — never load sub-agent transcripts into context.

Rules

• 1 sub-agent at a time.
• Don't poll in a loop — they auto-announce.
• Don't retry on the same model that just 429'd.
