One Assistant. Many Specialists.

Your main agent can spawn sub-agents โ€” specialized workers for specific tasks. Think of it as building your own AI team.

๐Ÿค– The Main Agent

When you deploy BlitzClaw, you get a main agent. This is who you talk to on Telegram. It handles your day-to-day requests, remembers your preferences, and manages your workspace.

The main agent:

  • โ€ข Maintains long-term memory across sessions
  • โ€ข Has full access to tools (web search, files, browser)
  • โ€ข Responds to your messages directly
  • โ€ข Can delegate work to sub-agents

๐Ÿ‘ฅ What Are Sub-Agents?

Sub-agents are isolated workers that run specific tasks in the background. They have their own context, can use different models, and report back when done.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Research Agent

"Deep dive into competitor pricing and summarize findings"

โœ๏ธ Writing Agent

"Draft 5 variations of this email, different tones"

๐Ÿ“Š Analysis Agent

"Review this data and find anomalies"

๐Ÿ”„ Monitor Agent

"Check this website daily and alert me to changes"

๐Ÿ’ก Why Use Sub-Agents?

โšก

Parallel Work

Main agent stays responsive while sub-agents work in the background. Start a research task and keep chatting.

๐ŸŽฏ

Focused Context

Sub-agents start fresh without your chat history. Better focus, no confusion from unrelated conversations.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Cost Control

Use cheaper models (Haiku) for routine tasks. Save Opus for complex reasoning.

๐Ÿ”’

Isolation

Sub-agents can't access your main memory. Good for sensitive or experimental tasks.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Creating Sub-Agents

Just ask your main agent. It knows how to delegate.

You:"Spawn a sub-agent to research the top 10 CRM tools for startups. Report back when done."
Agent:"I've started a research agent on that task. I'll message you when it completes (usually 2-5 minutes for this kind of research)."

Tips:

  • โ€ข Be specific about what you want back
  • โ€ข Mention if you want a specific model ("use Haiku for this")
  • โ€ข Sub-agents auto-announce results to your chat

โฐ Scheduled Tasks

Sub-agents can run on a schedule. Set up recurring tasks that work while you sleep.

You:"Every morning at 8am, check Hacker News for AI news and send me a summary."
You:"Every Friday at 5pm, compile my week's notes into a summary."
You:"Check my competitor's pricing page daily. Alert me if anything changes."

The agent sets up cron jobs that spawn sub-agents at the scheduled times. Results come to your Telegram automatically.

โœจ SOUL.md โ€” The Agent's Personality

Every agent has a SOUL.md file โ€” instructions that define who it is. This is where personality, tone, and operating principles live.

# SOUL.md

You are a direct, no-nonsense assistant.

Skip pleasantries. Get to the point.

When uncertain, ask one clarifying question.

Never apologize for being helpful.

You can edit SOUL.md through your dashboard or by asking your agent to update it. Changes take effect immediately.

Inter-agent communication is coming. Your role shifts from operator to director โ€” setting vision and reviewing outcomes while your AI team handles execution.

Start with one agent. Scale to a team.

Your main agent is ready. Sub-agents are one message away.
