Agents And Delegation

The six specialist agent roles: research, reasoning, design, document, patent, manufacturing
HIIE has exactly six specialist sub-agent roles Camelia delegates to: research, reasoning, design, document, patent, and manufacturing. Camelia is the director, not one of the roles.
What each agent role produces and how its output is structured
Each of the six roles returns markdown shaped by its fixed system prompt — briefs, structured analysis, design notes, finished documents, patent claims, or sourcing/BOM plans.
Which agents use live web search and which rely on model knowledge
Only the research and reasoning agents use live web search (bounded, max 3 results, with a no-web fallback). Design, document, patent, and manufacturing rely on model knowledge.
How Camelia delegates work with spawn_subagent
Camelia hands off to specialists by calling spawn_subagent(role, task), which runs one role-specialized model call and returns its markdown — optionally saving it as a project document.
Saving a sub-agent's output as a document in a project folder
A sub-agent's markdown result can be saved as a document into a chosen project folder, stored encrypted in D1 and labeled by role — making it a durable, reusable artifact.
Understanding Agent-to-Agent (A2A) handoffs in the activity ledger
Each delegation is logged as an A2A envelope (a Put from Camelia to the role, a Push back) in the activity ledger, feeding the Conversations node graphs for a traceable audit trail.
What the patent agent flags for human and legal review
The patent agent returns structured claims plus a summary and explicitly flags what needs human and legal review — a starting point for counsel, not a legally vetted document.
How the manufacturing agent's BOM is generated (and its limits)
The manufacturing agent returns an AI-authored sourcing/BOM markdown plan from model knowledge. There's no live parts-catalog integration, so verify parts and pricing with suppliers.
Why part numbers from the manufacturing agent are AI-suggested, not verified
Part numbers in the manufacturing agent's BOM are AI-suggested from model knowledge, with no live catalog integration. Always verify existence, fit, stock, and price with the supplier.
Where delegated work shows up as a conversation in the node graphs
Delegations and flow steps log A2A envelopes to the activity ledger, which feed the Conversations node graphs — so each handoff and whole runs appear as inspectable conversations.
