Agents and helpers

Agents like Claude Code can hand part of a job to a helper (a subagent). perch shows them two ways.

Under their session

A session with helpers at work lists them in the sidebar, under its name: what each was asked to do and how many steps it’s taken. Click one to open the conversation at that helper, with its steps showing.

The Agents page

Agents in the sidebar shows:

• Working now: every helper running in every session, with its type, steps and what it’s doing.
• Set up: the helpers you’ve defined, for each account (~/.claude/agents) and each project you’ve worked in lately (.claude/agents). Click one to edit it in perch’s editor. Claude Code’s /agents makes new ones.

To stop a single helper, use /tasks in its session’s terminal. Claude Code doesn’t let other apps stop one.
