[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. user: Sender (untrusted metadata):

  "id": "gateway-client",
  "name": "openclaw-tui",
  "username": "openclaw-tui"
}

[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):

{
  "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):

{
  "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.
