Subagents vs the fold-in rule
All four suggestions built and merged on 2026-10-27
Lead: Planner, Debugger, Docs Writer and Scribe are now skills in the main loop. Agents delegate only for parallel work, a fresh context, or other tools. Both PRs are merged. The full eval run is still waiting for a model lane.
What shipped
| Suggestion | Done | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Use the catalog as the look only | The delegation hint now states the fold rule. Faces stay, including on past runs. | |
| Fold the four types into skills | gizzi skills: planning, debugging, docs-writing, summarizing. 15 → 11 types in gizzi, the API and the app. | |
| Keep explorer, operators and researcher | Unchanged. builder, reviewer, verifier and the others stay too, until the evals decide. | |
| 10 golden tasks, 2 runs each | domains/agent-evals/subagents, arms split / folded / single, graded by code |
|
| Run the evals | Blocked: Allternit Cloud is paused until 2026-11-01, and gizzi has no API key |
Found and fixed on the way
gizzi run waited without end when a session paused before a usage limit. It now ends with exit code 1 and a SessionPaused error. The headless docs describe this.
