Why this subagent

Running a quick text task on your phone usually means copying into an app, waiting, and copying back. This puts those actions one tap away inside iOS.

From the share sheet or a selection, pick summarize, rewrite, or translate, and the result lands back in your clipboard ready to paste. It is a tap-to-run text agent on iOS that works in any app without switching context.
