holix-subagents
Full Holix sub-agent lifecycle: spawn, monitor, collect results, answer ask_user questions, approve tool confirmations, and delegate to external CLIs (holix launch). Use when the user asks about subagents, /subagent-spawn, delegate_to_subagent, background workers, sub-agent questions, /subagent-reply, holix launch + coder, or running tasks without blocking the main chat. Invoke via /holix-subagents.
sub-agents
Execute external CLI AIs as isolated sub-agents for task delegation, parallel processing, and context separation. Use when delegating complex multi-step tasks, running parallel investigations, needing fresh context without current conversation history, or leveraging specialized agent definitions. Returns structured JSON with agent output, exit code, and execution status.
