| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Purpose |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Own the `subagents.py` API endpoint. |
| 6 | - This module returns subordinate agent profile data for UI and delegation flows. |
| 7 | - Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with `subagents.py` because this directory is intentionally flat. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ## Ownership |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - `subagents.py` owns the runtime implementation. |
| 12 | - `subagents.py.dox.md` owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation. |
| 13 | - Classes: |
| 14 | - `Subagents` (`ApiHandler`) |
| 15 | - `async process(self, input: Input, request: Request) -> Output` |
| 16 | - `get_subagents_list(self)` |
| 17 | - `load_agent(self, name: str | None)` |
| 18 | - `save_agent(self, name: str | None, data: dict | None)` |
| 19 | - `delete_agent(self, name: str | None)` |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Runtime Contracts |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - HTTP handlers must derive from `helpers.api.ApiHandler`; WebSocket handlers must derive from `helpers.ws.WsHandler`. |
| 24 | - Update this file whenever request payloads, authentication or CSRF requirements, response shapes, route side effects, or WebSocket event contracts change. |
| 25 | - `Subagents` is an `ApiHandler`. |
| 26 | - `Subagents` defines `process(...)`. |
| 27 | - Observed side-effect areas: filesystem writes, filesystem deletion. |
| 28 | - Imported dependency areas include: `helpers`, `helpers.api`, `typing`. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ## Key Concepts |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: `subagents.get_agents_list`, `subagents.load_agent_data`, `subagents.SubAgent`, `subagents.save_agent_data`, `subagents.delete_agent_data`, `self.use_context`, `Exception`, `self.get_subagents_list`, `self.load_agent`, `self.save_agent`, `self.delete_agent`. |
| 33 | - Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ## Work Guidance |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - Preserve authentication, CSRF, loopback, and API-key checks unless the endpoint contract explicitly changes. |
| 38 | - Update frontend callers, plugin callers, and tests together when payload shape changes. |
| 39 | - Use `helpers.api.Response` for non-JSON responses, files, redirects, or status-specific replies. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Verification |
| 42 | |
| 43 | - Run endpoint-specific or API/WebSocket tests for changed behavior; smoke-test browser callers when no focused test exists. |
| 44 | - Related tests observed by source search: |
| 45 | - `tests/test_skills_runtime.py` |
