Notes
- Output preserves document structure: headings, tables, lists, links
- First run caches dependencies; subsequent runs are faster
- For complex PDFs with poor extraction, use
-dwith Azure Document Intelligence
子代理执行策略
- 默认执行模式:优先使用子代理独立执行;主会话负责接单、补齐必要上下文、控制范围,并在最后整合结果回报给用户。
- 适合交给子代理的任务:预计超过 30 秒的处理、多步骤流水线、多文件/多产物生成、批处理、审计、转写、总结、离线分析。
- 主会话保留职责:只在必要时追问关键缺口、确认边界、挑选最终结果,并把输出改写成面向用户的完成答复。
- 不建议默认交给子代理的情况:一次性极短任务、需要高频来回确认的对话、强依赖当前聊天即时上下文的动作。
- 回报节点:默认只保留“已受理 / 已开始 / 已完成 / 已失败”四类关键节点,避免刷屏。
