[Wed 2026-03-04 06:03 UTC] Hey zap! Do you use other agents or subagents automatically?
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Great question — not automatically in the background for normal chat.

I **can** use subagents/other agents when it makes sense (or if you ask), especially for bigger/long-running tasks.  
Typical behavior:

- **Simple asks:** I handle directly.
- **Complex/long tasks:** I may spawn a subagent to work in parallel.
- **If you explicitly say** “use Codex/Claude/Gemini/etc”: I route that through the ACP session flow.

So: **no constant auto-delegation**, but I do delegate when it’s the best tool for the job.
assistant: Current thinking level: medium.
Options: off, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, adaptive.
assistant: Thinking level set to medium.

[Wed 2026-03-04 06:09 UTC] Are you able to delegate to subagents with adequate model tier depending on task complexity?
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Yep — I can do that.

I can delegate to subagents and pick a stronger/weaker model based on task complexity, for example:

- **Light tasks** (quick edits, short lookups): handle directly on current model.
- **Medium tasks** (multi-step research, moderate coding): spawn a subagent with an appropriate model.
- **Heavy tasks** (large refactors, long investigations): use higher-tier model and/or ACP agent sessions (e.g., Codex/Claude-style harness) with persistent threads when useful.

If you want, I can follow a default policy like: **fast/cheap by default, escalate only when quality risk is high**.
user: Sender (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "label": "openclaw-tui (gateway-client)",
  "id": "gateway-client",
  "name": "openclaw-tui",
  "username": "openclaw-tui"
}
```

[Wed 2026-03-04 06:12 UTC] Yes we need that.
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Perfect — set ✅

I’ll use this default policy going forward:

- **Direct + efficient first** for simple tasks  
- **Escalate model tier/subagent** when complexity or quality risk goes up  
- **Use ACP agent sessions** for bigger coding/research workflows when appropriate

If you want, I can also enforce a stricter rule like: “always ask before using high-tier models.”
user: Sender (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "label": "openclaw-tui (gateway-client)",
  "id": "gateway-client",
  "name": "openclaw-tui",
  "username": "openclaw-tui"
}
```

[Wed 2026-03-04 06:15 UTC] Great thanks! No, we don't need to enforce stricter rules for now
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Awesome — sounds good. I’ll keep using the adaptive delegation policy as default.
