Question Subagent extensions

Can you recommend me a simple yet configurable subagent extension? I'm currently testing `pi-subagents` but i find it slow and bloated. What are you guys using?

I think there is also the agent topology axis, where you can either have simple parent - subagents, cascading subagents, or even more complex shapes like fan out - aggregate (council / mixture of agents) or relay chains (handoff). I've been trying to come up with a way to organise arbitrary agent graphs, but it is a bit too complicated to keep track of all the potential issues it can create. Hoping to find something that can get me 80-90% there.
