Subagents
Subagents are specialized AI agents designed to handle specific types of tasks autonomously. The MarkBind project maintains several subagents to assist with development workflows.
Subagents extend the capabilities of AI assistants by providing focused expertise for common development tasks. They are located in the .opencode/agents/ directory and can be invoked to handle specific workflows.
Memory Support
Subagent memory is currently enabled and configured to use local storage. This allows subagents to retain context and build up institutional knowledge across sessions. This memory will not be committed to the repository. If you wish to change this behaviour, you can change the memory field in the subagent's frontmatter to none | project.
Note: Memory support is currently only available when using Claude as the AI provider.
The following subagents are available in the MarkBind project:
| Subagent Name | Description |
|---|---|
codebase-explorer | Explores and maps the codebase structure dynamically. Use when you need to understand project organization, find where specific functionality is implemented, or discover directory structure and key files. |
pattern-reporter | Analyzes code patterns and implementation details. Use when you need to understand how specific features are implemented, identify coding patterns, or study similar functionality across the codebase. |
update-docs | Updates user or developer documentation when changes are relevant. Use when editing files within docs/ folder or when code changes require documentation updates. |
Subagents can be invoked by the AI assistant automatically based on the task at hand. When a subagent is activated, it will operate independently to handle its designated workflow, leveraging its specialized knowledge and memory.
Subagents can also be manually triggered. Please refer to the documentation of your chosen AI tool (e.g., Claude, Opencode) for instructions on how to manually invoke subagents.
