# @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-spawn
|
|
|
|
The spawn provider creates a fresh child `Agent` in the current process. The child has its own session, sees no parent conversation history, and reuses the host's agent factory and LLM/tool services.
|
|
|
|
## Behavior
|
|
|
|
`start(request)` delegates to [`startInProcessRun`](../subagent-inprocess/README.md) with no seed and awaits publication before returning. The child receives parent working-directory/session lineage and inherits the parent model unless overridden, but starts with an empty conversation.
|
|
|
|
The shared driver owns depth checking, persona and tool-filter setup, structured output, required-signal cancellation, one-shot execution, result reading, and quiescent disposal. A startup rejection leaves no published child; provider unload after fulfillment does not revoke the holder-owned run.
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities
|
|
|
|
Spawn advertises `{ outputSchema: true, depthLimit: true, toolFilter: true, persona: true }` because it controls the child's creation window and can enforce all four features.
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
| Key | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `providerName` | Registry name on `ctx.subagents` (default `spawn`). |
|
|
|
|
## Model Experience
|
|
|
|
### Child-agent request
|
|
|
|
**What the model sees**: The fresh child receives the standalone task content verbatim, inherits the parent model and workspace by default, and sees the global prompt with any configured child-scoped persona shadow. A tool filter removes global wire schemas, executable lookup, and Code Mode SDK bindings for that child but leaves independently registered guidance. It receives zero parent conversation messages; the filter is visibility/composition, not an authority grant inherited from the parent.
|
|
|
|
**Token effect**: The child pays for a new independent context and history; no parent-history tokens are duplicated. Persona changes this child's repeated prompt cost, while filtering changes its schema or generated SDK cost.
|
|
|
|
### Parent tool result, indirectly
|
|
|
|
**What the model sees**: Through `dsh-tool-subagent`, the parent receives only the child's final output or stop-reason error.
|
|
|
|
**Token effect**: Parent input grows by one data-dependent result retained until compaction.
|
|
|
|
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
|
|
|
- **Runs expose no `sendMessage`/`resume`** — the optional runtime capabilities are absent on in-process runs.
|
|
- **Fresh means no parent transcript** — the child inherits cwd, lineage, model, and explicitly configured persona/tool restrictions, but none of the parent's conversation; use the fork provider when completed-turn context is required.
