description: Spin up a short-lived headless `claude` sub-instance to grind through a well-scoped, mechanical batch (bulk relabeling, a repetitive find/replace, a mechanical migration) instead of burning your own context on it inline. Use this when a task has a clear, describable recipe and is either big enough to eat your context or long enough that you'd rather not babysit it. Not for judgement-heavy work, anything needing operator back-and-forth, or a task whose blast radius you can't bound up front.

## The `subagent` MCP tools
|
||||
|
||||
Your container's `subagent` MCP server (`hive-subagent-daemon`) is this
|
||||
skill's recipe as MCP calls — no manual shell-wrapping, no hand-rolled
|
||||
backgrounding:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
start(name, prompt_file, model?, trigger?)
|
||||
continue(name, prompt, model?)
|
||||
interrupt(name, force?)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`name` ↔ `--name`, `model` ↔ `--model`, `prompt_file` ↔
|
||||
`--append-system-prompt-file`, `trigger`/`prompt` ↔ `-p`. `start` returns
|
||||
once the process is confirmed running, not once it finishes — a
|
||||
completion lands as a todo (`get_loose_ends`), same as any other producer.
|
||||
There's no `status` poll: check on a subagent by `continue`-ing it (refused
|
||||
while it's still running, which is itself the "still going" signal) or by
|
||||
reading its completion todo. `interrupt` genuinely stops a running turn
|
||||
(`force: true` for SIGKILL) — unlike bash tasks' `kill`, this isn't
|
||||
limited to a still-pending state.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything else in this skill (model choice, prompt hygiene, splitting
|
||||
big batches, verify-then-report) applies unchanged; only the launch
|
||||
mechanics differ from a raw shell invocation.
|
||||
|
||||
No `subagent` MCP server on this container? Fall back to the manual
|
||||
command below — same recipe, you drive the backgrounding yourself.
|
||||

||||
## The spawn command (manual fallback)

||||

Put the task recipe in a file and pass it as a path, with a short `-p`
