SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detect and adapt agent spawning across CLI, VS Code, and other Copilot surfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform detection and conditional spawning logic for CLI (task), VS Code (runSubagent/agent), and fallback inline execution.
  • VS Code-specific adaptations: parallel subagents, session-model handling, and batched scribe in the last turn; automatic result delivery without read_agent.
  • Guardrails for cross-platform compatibility and safe operation across surfaces.

Quick Start

Run the coordinator in your current environment and observe it automatically select the correct spawning method.

Frequently Asked Questions about client-compatibility

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I adapt agent spawning for VS Code and CLI environments?▼

Agent spawning adapts to VS Code and CLI by detecting the active platform and applying conditional logic to choose between task, runSubagent, or inline fallback execution for safe cross-surface orchestration.

What is the best way to manage parallel subagents in VS Code?▼

Managing parallel subagents in VS Code involves using runSubagent for spawning, handling session-model configurations, and batch scribing in the last turn to deliver results automatically without requiring read_agent.

Does cross-surface orchestration support fallback execution when specific tools are unavailable?▼

Cross-surface orchestration supports fallback inline execution when the coordinator detects that specific spawning tools like task or runSubagent are unavailable in the current environment.

How do I run platform detection for Copilot surfaces to choose the correct execution method?▼

Platform detection runs automatically when the coordinator starts, identifying the active Copilot surface to select the correct method between task, runSubagent, or inline execution based on available tools.

Why do I need platform detection logic for subagent orchestration?▼

Platform detection logic is needed for subagent orchestration to ensure safe, parallel subagent management and apply guardrails that maintain compatibility across different execution surfaces like CLI and VS Code.
