   • [FEATURE]: Configurable Agent Cycling Order (Tab) #7372: Configurable Agent Cycling Order (Tab) - related to agent tab navigation control
   • [FEATURE]: Config-driven agent system — no hardcoded agents, all behavior defined in global config #12498: Config-driven agent system — no hardcoded agents, all behavior defined in global config - broader vision for agent customization

   I created a custom agent "clean_code" with instructions on how to write clean code. And I would like to have two separate agents for planning and building. The shared wisdom should only be defined in a referenced, basic agent "clean_code" that does not appear in the tui when tabbing.

   I tried to
   a) name the basic agent _clean_code with underscore to denote private character and
   b) also tried to set mode: subagent.

   However, I was not able to hide the agent from the tui list/tabbing.
   => Please provide feature to hide some agents from the tui when tabbing... while allowing it to be reused for other agents that are visible while tabbing.

   (Or should I move _clean_code.md to .opencode/lib etc. and reference it from there?)
