Codex team is back in the kitchen with a really nice quality of life upgrade for subagents. With the advent of custom roles, they have also upgraded the TUI experience in two really meaningful ways. > All agents now get a name for better readability > Additionally, the agent role is declared. > Subagent name, role, and status are now color coded. > Subagent rendering was also optimized for readability > /agents slash command shows all agents, even 2+ layers deep. And here's the biggest and most important change. Subagent injection. Before, sometimes the orchestration agent would continue work and lose track of the work of a subagent. Now, when a subagent is blocked or completed, it injects a message back up the chain to ensure that the parent sees the message. This is a really big improvement overall, and leads to much more reliable inter-agent communication, reliability, and DX. In this example, I used the parent agent to spin up a worker agent, which then spawned two more "Spark" agents a second layer deep. I was able to easily tell them apart, switch between the threads, and see exactly what they were prompted. All of this will be available in update 0.105.0 I don't know who JIF is at OpenAI, but they are truly a legend.
