CrazyBoyM a9c71002d2 the model is the agent, the code is the harness
Comprehensive rewrite establishing the harness engineering narrative
across the entire repository.

README (EN/ZH/JA): added "The Model IS the Agent" manifesto with
historical proof (DQN, OpenAI Five, AlphaStar, Tencent Jueyu),
"What an Agent Is NOT" critique, harness engineer role definition,
"Why Claude Code" as masterclass in harness design, and universe
vision. Consistent framing: model = driver, harness = vehicle.

docs (36 files, 3 languages): injected one-line "Harness layer"
callout after the motto in every session document (s01-s12).

agents (13 Python files): added harness framing comment before
each module docstring.

skills/agent-philosophy.md: full rewrite aligned with harness
narrative.

s04: Subagents (子智能体)

s01 > s02 > s03 > [ s04 ] s05 > s06 | s07 > s08 > s09 > s10 > s11 > s12

"大任务拆小, 每个小任务干净的上下文" -- 子智能体用独立 messages[], 不污染主对话。

Harness 层: 上下文隔离 -- 守护模型的思维清晰度。

问题

智能体工作越久, messages 数组越胖。每次读文件、跑命令的输出都永久留在上下文里。"这个项目用什么测试框架?" 可能要读 5 个文件, 但父智能体只需要一个词: "pytest。"

解决方案

Parent agent                     Subagent
+------------------+             +------------------+
| messages=[...]   |             | messages=[]      | <-- fresh
|                  |  dispatch   |                  |
| tool: task       | ----------> | while tool_use:  |
|   prompt="..."   |             |   call tools     |
|                  |  summary    |   append results |
|   result = "..." | <---------- | return last text |
+------------------+             +------------------+

Parent context stays clean. Subagent context is discarded.

工作原理

  1. 父智能体有一个 task 工具。子智能体拥有除 task 外的所有基础工具 (禁止递归生成)。
PARENT_TOOLS = CHILD_TOOLS + [
    {"name": "task",
     "description": "Spawn a subagent with fresh context.",
     "input_schema": {
         "type": "object",
         "properties": {"prompt": {"type": "string"}},
         "required": ["prompt"],
     }},
]
  1. 子智能体以 messages=[] 启动, 运行自己的循环。只有最终文本返回给父智能体。
def run_subagent(prompt: str) -> str:
    sub_messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    for _ in range(30):  # safety limit
        response = client.messages.create(
            model=MODEL, system=SUBAGENT_SYSTEM,
            messages=sub_messages,
            tools=CHILD_TOOLS, max_tokens=8000,
        )
        sub_messages.append({"role": "assistant",
                             "content": response.content})
        if response.stop_reason != "tool_use":
            break
        results = []
        for block in response.content:
            if block.type == "tool_use":
                handler = TOOL_HANDLERS.get(block.name)
                output = handler(**block.input)
                results.append({"type": "tool_result",
                    "tool_use_id": block.id,
                    "content": str(output)[:50000]})
        sub_messages.append({"role": "user", "content": results})
    return "".join(
        b.text for b in response.content if hasattr(b, "text")
    ) or "(no summary)"

子智能体可能跑了 30+ 次工具调用, 但整个消息历史直接丢弃。父智能体收到的只是一段摘要文本, 作为普通 tool_result 返回。

相对 s03 的变更

组件 之前 (s03) 之后 (s04)
Tools 5 5 (基础) + task (仅父端)
上下文 单一共享 父 + 子隔离
Subagent run_subagent() 函数
返回值 不适用 仅摘要文本

试一试

cd learn-claude-code
python agents/s04_subagent.py

试试这些 prompt (英文 prompt 对 LLM 效果更好, 也可以用中文):

  1. Use a subtask to find what testing framework this project uses
  2. Delegate: read all .py files and summarize what each one does
  3. Use a task to create a new module, then verify it from here
