Hello,

I made some progress. I can generate agendas where each todo shows how
many sub-tasks it has:

 Emacs ideas
  <  3> Emacs:              TODO [#0] show context of subtasks in agenda
  <  1> Emacs:              TODO [#0] fixate gnus structure
  <  1> Emacs:              TODO [#2] kungsgetens org-brain
  < 11> Emacs:              TODO [#3] emslaved (make initial repo)

The number inside the initial brackets < num > indicate number of open subtasks.

I'm also using org-super-agenda here.

This is the code, a little bit messy still.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

  (defun jv-todoinfo()
    (let
        ((numchilds 0))
    
      (save-mark-and-excursion
        (org-narrow-to-subtree)
        (setq numchilds (length
                         (--filter (eq 'todo it)
                                   (progn
                                     (let ((parsetree (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline))) 
                                       (org-element-map parsetree 'headline 
                                         (lambda (hl) (org-element-property :todo-type hl))))))))
        ;;im not sure why the widen is needed, but otherwise agenda generating breaks
        (widen))
      numchilds))


  (setq org-agenda-prefix-format
        '((agenda . " %i %-20:c%?-12t% s")
          (timeline . "  % s")
          (todo . " %i <%3(jv-todoinfo)> %-20:c")        
          (tags . " %i %-12:c")
          (search . " %i %-12:c"))
        )
