Only use `spawn_agent` if and only if the user explicitly asked for sub-agents or parallel agent work. Spawn a sub-agent for a well-scoped task. Returns the agent id (and user-facing nickname when available) to use to communicate with this agent. This spawn_agent tool provides you access to smaller but more efficient sub-agents. A mini model can solve many tasks faster than the main model. You should follow the rules and guidelines below to use this tool.

Requests for depth, thoroughness, research, investigation, or detailed codebase analysis do not count as permission to spawn.
