# Subagent

Band: established — Settled. Documented by a primary source and not seriously disputed.
Group: The harness
Implemented by: https://clickai.dev/skills/grilling

A delegated worker running in its own context window with its own system prompt and tool allowlist, returning a summary rather than its transcript. The economics are the point: it may burn tens of thousands of tokens and hand back one or two thousand. The everyday trigger is simple — reach for one when a side task would flood the main conversation with search results, logs or file contents nobody will reference again.
