Part of the autonomous execution loop:Agent Mode
Subagents is Lovable's Agent feature: Subagents enhance Lovable’s ability to tackle complex tasks.
Subagents help Lovable investigate complex tasks faster by splitting research, code exploration, and review into focused parallel work. When a request needs more context, Lovable can start temporary, read-only subagents for inspections, documentation lookups, work reviews, and findings return.
Subagents runs inside Agent Mode — the loop that plans, edits, and verifies work end to end.
Example workflows
Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.
Stand it up from scratch
You have read the record and want Subagents working in a real project rather than a sandbox.
Set up Subagents in this project — subagents enhance Lovable’s ability to tackle complex tasks. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.
Expected outcomeA working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.
Split a complex investigation into parallel research tasks
The record lists this as one of the jobs Subagents is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.
In this project, use Subagents for split a complex investigation into parallel research tasks. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.
Expected outcomeOne complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.
Review it before you publish
Subagents is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.
Review how this project uses Subagents before I publish. Check parallel processing of tasks and temporary, read-only agents, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.
Expected outcomeA findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.
Let a read-only subagent check documentation before a change
A second job the record lists for Subagents, useful once the first path works.
Extend this project so Subagents also covers let a read-only subagent check documentation before a change. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.
Expected outcomeA second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
