7 Specialized Sub-Agents: Security, AI, UI, Data, and Beyond

The Problem With One-Size-Fits-All Agents

When you ask a general-purpose AI to scan for security vulnerabilities, it does an okay job. When you ask it to also build a React component, it does an okay job. But "okay" isn't good enough when security matters. "Okay" isn't good enough when your frontend needs WCAG compliance.

CVC solves this with specialized sub-agents — focused, purpose-built AI instances that excel in their domain.

The Seven Agents

Explore — The fastest agent. Uses the cheapest model tier with read-only tools. Scans your codebase in seconds and returns a concise summary. Use it for quick questions about code structure.

Plan — The strategist. Analyzes your codebase and produces detailed, step-by-step implementation plans without modifying anything. Perfect for architecture decisions.

Security — The guardian. An elite application security engineer that scans for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, detects hardcoded secrets, audits dependencies for CVEs, and produces prioritized security reports (CRITICAL → HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW).

AI — The ML engineer. A specialist in LLM integration, RAG pipelines, embeddings, model training, and inference optimization. Writes production-grade Python for AI systems.

UI — The designer. Creates beautiful, accessible interfaces — React, Vue, Tailwind, terminal TUI. Prioritizes user experience, WCAG compliance, and responsive design.

Data — The analyst. Expert in pandas, SQL, visualization, ETL pipelines, statistical analysis, and data validation. Always validates data quality first.

Orchestrator — The coordinator. A meta-agent that decomposes complex multi-domain tasks across the other specialized agents and synthesizes their results into a coherent whole.

How It Works

The main agent (Sofia) can delegate to any sub-agent mid-conversation:

User: "Scan this project for security issues, then build a React dashboard to visualize the findings"

Sofia delegates:
1. Security agent → full vulnerability scan, produces report
2. Data agent → structures findings into visualizable data
3. UI agent → builds React dashboard with the security data
4. Sofia synthesizes results and presents to user

Each sub-agent gets its own context window, its own tool set, and its own turn limit. The main context stays clean.
