That makes `/fleet` a practical way to launch subagents even if you are not authoring custom agent files yourself.
### Rubber-duck agent (experimental)
Available in `/experimental` (v1.0.42+), the **rubber-duck agent** applies a novel multi-model pattern: when you're working in a GPT-powered session, the rubber-duck agent internally routes certain requests through Claude to provide a second perspective. The idea is similar to rubber-duck debugging — talking through a problem with a different "listener" often surfaces assumptions or blind spots you didn't notice.
To try it, enable experimental features and then select the rubber-duck agent from the agent picker:
```
/experimental # toggle experimental features
/agent # open the agent picker and select rubber-duck
```
Because it runs as a sub-agent layer rather than replacing your primary model, you keep your current session model and context while the rubber-duck analysis runs in the background.
> **Note**: This is an experimental feature and may change. Provide feedback via `/feedback` if you find it useful.
