The extracted library's name sat one edit away from @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess (process/inprocess), inviting a typo'd import to silently resolve to the wrong package. subagent-subprocess also reads as the deliberate counterpart to subagent-inprocess (in-process vs. subprocess), matching how the two shared drivers actually differ. Package directory, npm name, module doc, JSDoc module tags, test-file name and its temp-dir prefixes, the subagent-acp import and its Config/tsconfig/package.json references, root tsconfig.json/tsconfig.build.json/knip.json entries, and the packages/subagent group README all renamed together; regenerated docs/module-graph.md and docs/config-catalog.md. Pure rename — no behavior, export, or Config shape changed.

# subagent/ — subagent capability family
|
|
|
|
The subagent seam: an agent delegating work to a child agent. Like the [bash](../bash/README.md) and [llm](../llm/README.md) families this is a capability seam (see [capability seams](../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md)) — but with one defining difference: **multiple provider implementations coexist in one context**, registered by name, rather than the single-implementation bash shape. The registry mirrors the LLM adapter registry.
|
|
|
|
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `subagent/` | Abstract subagent seam: named-provider registry + vocabulary | `ctx.subagents` |
|
|
| `subagent-inprocess/` | Shared in-process run driver (pure lib; registers nothing) | — |
|
|
| `subagent-spawn/` | In-process backend: a fresh child agent | (registers on `ctx.subagents`) |
|
|
| `subagent-fork/` | In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix | (registers on `ctx.subagents`) |
|
|
| `subagent-subprocess/` | Shared out-of-process machinery: env scrub, dispose ladder, isolated config dirs (pure lib; registers nothing) | — |
|
|
| `subagent-acp/` | Out-of-process backend: a child agent in a spawned subprocess, driven over ACP | (registers on `ctx.subagents`) |
|
|
| `tool-subagent/` | Model-facing `subagent` delegation tool over `ctx.subagents` | (registers on `ctx.tools`) |
|
|
|
|
The interface lives at `subagent/subagent/`. The in-process `subagent-spawn` / `subagent-fork` backends share the `subagent-inprocess` driver (a pure library — both depend on it, neither on the other), the out-of-process `subagent-acp` backend builds on the `subagent-subprocess` library (the credential env scrub, the dispose ladder, isolated config dirs) and ships alongside them here; the test-only `dsh-subagent-mock` (in [support](../support/README.md)) is separate. All **product** packages except the mock.
