In Goose PR #9325, the summon extension was updated to trigger subagent calls from @agent mentions or natural references in chat text, so users can invoke an agent without using a separate summon command format.
Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.
Added mention-aware dispatch logic in the summon extension so @agent handles and name-like references are parsed as actionable invocation signals, reducing the need for explicit command syntax.
Developers and operators using Goose can now route tasks to the intended subagent just by mentioning it in ordinary language, which should reduce friction and command friction in workflows, while the key risk to watch is accidental activation from non-command @text in normal conversation. This change extends summon routing from strict command paths to mention/heuristic matching, so monitoring should focus on false-positive triggers, incorrect agent selection, and any unintended execution from casual references.
