CC agents are identity-anchored subagents: a frontmatter block (name / description / tools / disallowedTools / model / skills / background / initialPrompt …) plus a Markdown body that is the agent's system prompt. DSH's subagent seam has no pre-registered agent directory, so this adapter provides both halves:

Catalog injection — at every session start, a user-role message lists the available agents (name: description), reproducing CC's @-mention semantics: the model sees which agents exist and when to delegate.
cc_agent delegation tool — the model calls cc_agent(agent, description, prompt); the adapter:
- looks the agent up in the loaded IR catalog,
- starts a subagent via ctx.subagents.start(provider, …) with persona = the agent body (DSH's native identity channel),
- scopes the child's tools with toolFilter from disallowedTools (applied first) then tools (CC semantics; buckets like Read/Bash expand to DSH tool names, mcp__… names pass through),
- preloads skills (frontmatter skill names → full skill bodies),
- maps model → agentOptions.model, background → background job,
- maps initialPrompt → prompt prefix.

Config

key	default	meaning
`provider`	`spawn`	`ctx.subagents` provider to delegate on (`spawn` / `fork`)
`toolName`	`cc_agent`	model-facing tool name
`injectCatalog`	`true`	inject agent catalog into session start
`enableRunInBackground`	`true`	expose `run_in_background`
`maxDepth`	`3`	absolute delegation-depth cap
`enableGlobal`	`true`	include global `~/.claude/agents`
`globalClaudeDir`	`~/.claude`	override global dir

Scope precedence

Project .claude/agents/ beats global ~/.claude/agents/ on name clashes (fail loud — a warning is logged). Plugin agents arrive with the plugin source (M4).

Classification (from dsh-cc-loader)

DIRECT — delegatable.
ADAPTED — delegatable with degraded fields (memory, unknown fields).
UNSUPPORTED — fields DSH cannot honor (hooks / mcpServers / permissionMode — CC itself forbids these on plugin agents); the agent still delegates without them.
BLOCKED — isolation: worktree; never offered for delegation.

Install

dsh plugin --profile <p> add dsh-cc-agents

Dev checkout (hot user layer, file:/// required on Windows):

- insert:
    - id: cc-agents
      name: 'file:///C:/Users/.../packages/cc-agents/src/index.js'
      config: { provider: spawn }

Requirements

@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent with an in-process provider (spawn) registered.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-jobs + @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-jobs only for background runs.
