description: r#"
Only use `spawn_agent` if and only if the user explicitly asked for sub-agents or parallel agent work. Spawn a sub-agent for a well-scoped task. Returns the agent id (and user-facing nickname when available) to use to communicate with this agent. This spawn_agent tool provides you access to smaller but more efficient sub-agents. A mini model can solve many tasks faster than the main model. You should follow the rules and guidelines below to use this tool.
### When to delegate vs. do the subtask yourself
- First, quickly analyze the overall user task and form a succinct high-level plan. Identify which tasks are immediate blockers on the critical path, and which tasks are sidecar tasks that are needed but can run in parallel without blocking the next local step. As part of that plan, explicitly decide what immediate task you should do locally right now. Do this planning step before delegating to agents so you do not hand off the immediate blocking task to a submodel and then waste time waiting on it.
