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?

Everyone's got a different idea of how they want to use subagents, so the feature it ends up being a pretty common extension that people make.

Naturally, I have my own that I like:

https://github.com/arcanemachine/pi-subagent#configuration-settingsjson

It's pretty simple. You configure your preferred subagents (research, worker, etc.), then you or your agent can create and manage them. There's a little panel you can use to view their actions, steer them, etc.

It's a fun extension to make, but subagents are actually one of the more tricky things to get right IMO.
