📄 Description

Description

On the Deep Agents harness page, it wasn't clear that create_deep_agent already wires up a general-purpose synchronous subagent (and the task tool) out of the box — users wondered whether passing subagents= would give them a second one. This adds a Note callout and reframes the default-subagent bullets to emphasize that the general-purpose subagent is enabled by default and that custom subagents are added on top of it. Also links to the existing 'Default subagent' section on the Subagents page for replace/disable instructions.

Release Note

none

Test Plan

  • Visually verify the new Note callout renders on /oss/python/deepagents/harness#task-delegation-subagents and that both intra-page (#harness-profiles) and cross-page (/oss/deepagents/subagents#default-subagent) links resolve.

Opened collaboratively by Naomi Pentrel and open-swe.
