## No subagent support
## Subagent support
Gemini CLI has no equivalent to Claude Code's `Task` tool. Skills that rely on subagent dispatch (`subagent-driven-development`, `dispatching-parallel-agents`) will fall back to single-session execution via `executing-plans`.
Gemini CLI supports subagents natively via the `@` syntax. Use the built-in `@generalist` agent to dispatch any task — it has access to all tools and follows the prompt you provide.
When a skill says to dispatch a named agent type, use `@generalist` with the full prompt from the skill's prompt template:
| Skill instruction | Gemini CLI equivalent |
|-------------------|----------------------|
| `Task tool (superpowers:implementer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `implementer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (superpowers:spec-reviewer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `spec-reviewer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (superpowers:code-reviewer)` | `@code-reviewer` (bundled agent) or `@generalist` with the filled review prompt |
| `Task tool (superpowers:code-quality-reviewer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (general-purpose)` with inline prompt | `@generalist` with your inline prompt |
### Prompt filling
Skills provide prompt templates with placeholders like `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` or `[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders and pass the complete prompt as the message to `@generalist`. The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review criteria, and expected output format — `@generalist` will follow it.
### Parallel dispatch
Gemini CLI supports parallel subagent dispatch. When a skill asks you to dispatch multiple independent subagent tasks in parallel, request all of those `@generalist` or named subagent tasks together in the same prompt. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.
