Specialist Agent
Domain-specific agents operating under managers.
What the Specialist Agent Does
Specialist Agents are domain-specific workers operating under a manager. Each focuses on a single area of expertise, such as support, coding, research, sales, or legal review.
Why It Matters
Depth beats breadth on real work. Specialists produce higher-quality output in their domain than a single general agent could.
