* Surface paseo subagents in a collapsible section above the composer
Subagents no longer auto-open as tabs. Each parent agent's pane shows
a compact tab attached to the top of the composer, listing its direct
children with name and status; clicking a row opens or focuses the
subagent's tab. The section is provider-neutral so Claude Code Task
and Codex subagent sources can feed the same UI later. Reconciliation
now separates pruning (`activeAgentIds`) from auto-opening
(`autoOpenAgentIds`) so manually opened subagent tabs survive.
* Tighten subagents composer code from review
Collapse duplicate helper in workspace reconciliation, swap a hand-rolled
shallow comparator for fast-deep-equal (matching repo convention), drop
an unused React default import and a single-use formatCount helper, and
extract a shared PaneOverrides type in the agent-panel test.
* Fix oxlint failures in subagents code
Switch type aliases to interfaces, hoist inline JSX styles/handlers in
SubagentsSection to satisfy react-perf rules, and lift the test
makeAgent helpers onto AGENT_DEFAULTS so their cyclomatic complexity
drops below the configured cap.
* Add missing unistyles mock exports after rebase
After rebasing onto main, SubagentsSection now imports both
useUnistyles and (transitively, via WorkspaceTabIcon) withUnistyles.
Two test mocks needed updating to expose them.
Test drift fix: the implementation contract is correct; the local
react-native-unistyles mocks were stale.
* Tuck subagents tab under the composer
Subagents tab now grows visually from beneath the composer's rounded
top edge: the surface overlaps the composer by the corner radius so
the rounded curve nests into the tab. Composer's top padding is
removed so the tab sits flush against the input box with no
click-dead gutter. The tab is full-width in both states, the header
label drops the medium weight to follow design-system §3 (content
text inside a surface is normal), and hover covers the entire
visible tab when collapsed but stays scoped to the header row when
expanded.
* Decouple subagent close-tab from archive
Closing a subagent's tab no longer archives the agent — the tab is
removed from the per-client layout, the agent stays in the parent's
track until explicitly archived. Track rows gain an archive button (X)
to make the lifecycle gesture explicit. AgentManager.archiveAgent now
cascades to children carrying the paseo.parent-agent-id label so
subagent fleets don't outlive their orchestrator.
Trade-offs documented in docs/agent-lifecycle.md, including the known
limitation that handoff agents launched via the same MCP path get
cascade-archived alongside true subagents until a richer relation
model lands.
* Stabilize subagent archive button hover
Apply the sidebar workspace row pattern to fix two issues with the
new archive button: the row no longer drops hover when the pointer
moves onto the button, and the button slot reserves layout space
when invisible so adding/removing it doesn't shift the row.
The wrapper View tracks hover via onPointerEnter/onPointerLeave
(workspace rows do the same), and the slot stays mounted with
opacity 0 + pointerEvents="none" when the button is hidden. Also
swap the X icon for the Archive icon to match the gesture's intent.
* Match design language for subagent archive button
Hover state now changes the icon color from foregroundMuted to
foreground, matching the project-row trailing-action pattern in
sidebar-workspace-list.tsx. Drops the surface3 background hover
that didn't match the design language.
Adds a tooltip ("Archive subagent") on the trigger using the
canonical Tooltip + TooltipTrigger asChild pattern. Disabled when
the slot is hidden so it never appears unbidden.
* Slot subagents into one module + harden cascade
Reshape the subagents-in-composer feature so it lives behind one
module and integrates at a few explicit sites instead of being
smeared across generic files.
- Extract `PARENT_AGENT_ID_LABEL` to `packages/server/src/shared/agent-labels.ts`. Sweeps 16 literal sites across server, client, CLI, and tests.
- `packages/app/src/subagents/` is now a deep module: `index.ts` is the only React entry (`SubagentsSection`, `useArchiveSubagent`, `useSubagentsForParent`, `selectSubagentsForParent`, `resolveCloseAgentTabPolicy`, `shouldAutoOpenAgentTab`); `policies.ts` is a second designed entry for non-RN data consumers. Internal files renamed (`section.tsx`, `select.ts`, `close-tab-policy.ts`, `auto-open-tab-policy.ts`, `use-archive-subagent.ts`).
- Move the 22-line subagent archive flow out of `agent-panel.tsx` into `useArchiveSubagent`. Agent-panel becomes a one-line consumer.
- Move the close-tab subagent branch out of `workspace-screen.tsx` into `resolveCloseAgentTabPolicy` (discriminated union).
- Move the auto-open exclusion rule out of `workspace-agent-visibility.ts` into `shouldAutoOpenAgentTab`.
- Theme chevrons in `section.tsx` via `withUnistyles`; drop the forbidden `useUnistyles()` call from the hot path.
Server-side cascade hardening:
- Single write path: extract `markRecordArchived` and route both `archiveAgent` and the off-memory cascade branch through it. Off-memory cascaded children now notify subscribers (previously silent).
- Cascade no longer swallows child failures with `try/catch warn`. Failures propagate.
- Cascade test extended from 1 weak assertion to 5 contract tests: full archive shape (archivedAt, normalized lastStatus, requiresAttention=false), running child runtime stop, off-memory branch, subscriber notification for in-memory and off-memory children, partial-failure surfacing.
Net diff vs the start of this PR: -1037 / +444 lines. The feature now slots into the repo at four explicit sites: `agent-panel.tsx` (3 imports + a hook + the section), `workspace-screen.tsx` (one policy import), `workspace-agent-visibility.ts` (one predicate import), and `agent-manager.ts` (the cascade plus the shared label constant).

- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, scan the QR code shown in Settings.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
This shows a QR code in the terminal. Connect from any client. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
For full setup and configuration, see:
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon
paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-loop— loop an agent against clear acceptance criteria (aka Ralph loops), optionally with a verifier./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.

Community
- paseo-relay — self-hosted relay in Go
Self-hosted relay TLS
Self-hosted relays use ws:// unless TLS is opted in. For a relay behind nginx on 443, start the daemon with:
PASEO_RELAY_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:8080 \
PASEO_RELAY_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT=relay.example.com:443 \
PASEO_RELAY_USE_TLS=true \
paseo daemon start
Equivalent config:
{
"daemon": {
"relay": {
"enabled": true,
"endpoint": "127.0.0.1:8080",
"publicEndpoint": "relay.example.com:443",
"useTls": true
}
}
}
Minimal nginx WebSocket proxy:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name relay.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/relay.example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/relay.example.com/privkey.pem;
location /ws {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
