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.
subagent-delegation
MANDATORY before starting any multi-part task, spawning any subagent, doing 3+ searches or tool calls, reading or summarizing long material, bulk-processing items, or independently checking important claims. Inspect the active subagent types first, route bounded work to the cheapest advertised suitable worker, prevent duplicate work, and keep synthesis in the main conversation.
