The AIDE pattern for spawning specialized sub-agents from a parent agent session — a child AgentLoopService with narrowed tool policy, its own scratch dir, the parent's session as context, and a return-as-tool-result contract. Use when implementing the /api/agent/subagent route, when designing parallel subagent dispatch in the agent loop, when reviewing subagent scoping, when debugging "subagent didn't return" or "subagent has too much privilege", and when wiring the Anthropic Task tool /…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Subagent Dispatch — Child Agent Sessions, Narrowed Scope, Tool-Result Return Born 2026-08-31 from the wiring audit. AIDE has every primitive a subagent needs (AgentLoopService, agent contracts, event hub, memory spine, veritas gates) but the spawn verb is missing. The 6-rival audit (Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Windsurf/Devin, Copilot, Replit) all converge on "subagent" as table-stakes. This skill IS the wire-in: contracts, dispatch surface, scoping, return contract, tests. ## Why this matters (the user is right) Per `aide-workflow-gap-roadmap` Gap #2: any task that touches >5 files is a subagent job today. AIDE's agent loop has an 80-message cap and serial execution. Subagents are the only way to scale. Per the user directive 2026-08-31: "if we don't have the skill it tells us how to wire it" — this is that skill. ## The AIDE subagent contract (4 hard rules) 1. **Subagent = a real AgentLoopService instance**, not a thread, not a coroutine. Same code path as the parent, with a narrowed `toolPolicy` and the parent's session_id as the parent ref. The two runtimes doctrine (arch + legacy) applies: a fix that lands in one and not the other is a regression waiting to happen. …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-subagent-dispatch@sha256:7ffa9a02a1deae0eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.f6a8b8a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
