Background Agent
Async delegated agent
A cloud or local agent task that continues while you do something else — scheduled, queued, or long-running — and notifies you when there is a diff, PR, or report to review.
Concrete example
Start a dependency audit before lunch; get a summary and proposed upgrades when it finishes.
Why it matters
The workflow shape behind “agent as junior dev,” with review still on you.
