Method add_sub_task

langroid/agent/task.py:572–608

Add a sub-task (or list of subtasks) that this task can delegate (or fail-over) to. Note that the sequence of sub-tasks is important, since these are tried in order, as the parent task searches for a valid response (unless a sub-task is explicitly addressed).

        Args:
            task: A task, or list of tasks, or a tuple of task and task config,
                or a list of tuples of task and task config.
                These tasks are added as sub-tasks of the current task.
                The task configs (if any) dictate how the tasks are run when
                invoked as sub-tasks of other tasks. This allows users to specify
                behavior applicable only in the context of a particular task-subtask
                combination.
