Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/langchain-ai/docs/issues/2142

As per documentation subagent is created like:

research_subagent = {
    "name": "research-agent",
    "description": "Used to research more in depth questions",
    "system_prompt": "You are a great researcher",
    "tools": [internet_search],
    "model": "openai:gpt-4o",  # Optional override, defaults to main agent model
}

subagents = [research_subagent]

agent = create_deep_agent(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
    subagents=subagents
)
  1. is it possible to have the supervisor dynamically changing the prompt? If not, is creating a subagent as a tool the only option?
  2. can the supervisor spawn multiple subagents of the same type (for example for processing large documents, each subagent having a few pages to process)? In this case the supervisor should have the ability to modify the prompt
