Currently, subagents spawned via the Agent tool inherit the working directory of the parent session. This makes it impossible to orchestrate work across multiple unrelated projects (in different directories) from a single Claude Code session.

Requested: Add an optional cwd parameter to the Agent tool so the orchestrating session can specify which directory a subagent should start in.

Use case: Running a single orchestrator that delegates work to agents on different local projects simultaneously, without needing separate terminal sessions per project.
