Original Pull Request: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/10377

State: closed
Merged: No

Problem

When users try to invoke a primary agent (like 'build' or 'plan') as a subagent using the Task tool, they receive a misleading error message: "Unknown agent type".

Solution

Added explicit check for primary agent mode with a helpful error message that:

  • Explains primary agents cannot be invoked as subagents
  • Suggests changing the agent mode to 'all' or 'subagent' in configuration
// Primary agents cannot be invoked as subagents
if (agent.mode === "primary") {
  throw new Error(
    `Agent "${params.subagent_type}" is a primary agent and cannot be invoked as a subagent. ` +
      `Primary agents (build, plan, etc.) are designed to be user-facing only. ` +
      `If you want to invoke this agent programmatically, change its mode to "all" or "subagent" in your configuration.`
  )
}

Testing

  • Verified with existing test suite (752/759 tests passing)
  • Tested with both primary and subagent invocations

Fixes #10350
