    """Delegate a task to a specialized subagent that runs in its own context.

    Subagents help you:
    - Preserve context by keeping exploration and implementation separate
    - Handle complex multi-step tasks autonomously
    - Execute commands or operations in isolated contexts

    Available subagent types:
    - **general-purpose**: A capable agent for complex, multi-step tasks that require
      both exploration and action. Use when the task requires complex reasoning,
      multiple dependent steps, or would benefit from isolated context.
    - **bash**: Command execution specialist for running bash commands. Use for
      git operations, build processes, or when command output would be verbose.

    When to use this tool:
    - Complex tasks requiring multiple steps or tools
    - Tasks that produce verbose output
    - When you want to isolate context from the main conversation
    - Parallel research or exploration tasks

    When NOT to use this tool:
    - Simple, single-step operations (use tools directly)
    - Tasks requiring user interaction or clarification

    Args:
        description: A short (3-5 word) description of the task for logging/display. ALWAYS PROVIDE THIS PARAMETER FIRST.
        prompt: The task description for the subagent. Be specific and clear about what needs to be done. ALWAYS PROVIDE THIS PARAMETER SECOND.
        subagent_type: The type of subagent to use. ALWAYS PROVIDE THIS PARAMETER THIRD.
        max_turns: Optional maximum number of agent turns. Defaults to subagent's configured max.
