You can do this in opencode and pi (haven't used), by defining your own agents or overriding the built-in ones, so in your primary agent you can disable all tools and give it good instructions for how to delegate
I imagine most harnesses should have a way to do this today, if they don't, get a new one. OpenCode i.e. is highly customizable, Claude and VS Code both support a ton as well including custom agents (though unclear if you can create custom top-level in claude-code)

- gbro3n 5mo agoThanks, those don't deterministically prevent the main loop from using tools thought, unless I'm wrong that's just prompting the main agent on when to use specialized sub agents
- verdverm 5mo agoyou can configure tools, thinking, permissions et al on a per agent basis in the frontmatter, or via config (which they use in the examples), either location is valid, merging order (?) the main agent would be very different, basically an orchestrator, and you are "loop engineering" it, and turning off all the things for this main agent besides being able to run subagents for opencode: https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#permissions https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#permissions (what tools, mcp, etc...) https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#task-permissions https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#task-permissions (what subagents it can call) https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#additional https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/#additional (thinking effort)
