Repository navigation
feat: Add /subagents command to view subagent tree #6299
Description
Problem
There's no way to see the full subagent hierarchy in one place.
Current Navigation Options
-
<leader>+←/→— Cycles through subagents one-by-one- Gets clunky fast with many subagents
- No overview, just sequential stepping
-
<leader>+↑— Goes back to root session- Only option to "escape" the subagent tree
- Can't jump to siblings or specific children
-
Session list — Shows main sessions only (subagents are filtered out)
- By design, to avoid clutter
- But leaves no dedicated place to manage subagents
When This Hurts Most
- Async multi-agent workflows (e.g., oh-my-opencode spawning parallel agents)
- Cleaning up leftovers — need to find and delete stale subagents
- Checking specific subagent details — cycling through 10+ agents to find one
Proposed Solution
Add /subagents command showing:
- Full tree structure from root
- Status indicators (idle/busy/retry)
- Direct navigation (click to switch)
- Delete (
ctrl+d) and rename (ctrl+r) matching session list UX
This keeps the main session list clean while giving subagents a dedicated home.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
Both issues propose showing the full subagent hierarchy in one place with status indicators, direct navigation, and the ability to delete/rename sessions. #6183 suggests using a keybind-triggered dialog, while this issue proposes a
/subagentscommand. These could potentially be consolidated into a single feature that supports both access methods.thdxr commentedon Mar 25, 2026

@adam2am - curious - what happened to this PR? What would it take to get this functionality in?
And can you attach a screenshot of what this looks like?
