 ## Considerations
 
 ### Performance
+
 - Parallel agents minimize total time
 - TechLead-Consolidator runs sequentially after the others (needs their reports)
 - For large reviews, consider splitting by area or module
 
 ### Cost
+
 - Each agent consumes tokens independently
 - Full squad = 7 specialist agents + TechLead-Consolidator = 8 calls
 - For small changes, auto-selection avoids unnecessary agents
 
 ### Limitations
+
 - Agents do not talk to each other (only through TechLead-Consolidator)
 - Forwarded items are informational — they do not trigger new executions in this skill
 - TechLead-Consolidator consolidates but does not re-execute agents

+

 - `medium` (default): ~6 queries + 2-3 agents. ~20-40K tokens. Useful for genuine option exploration.
 - `deep`: ~10+ queries + 4 agents + tech-lead. ~60-100K tokens. Useful for high-stakes decisions where multiple stakeholders need to align.
 
 ### When to use vs alternatives
-- Use `/brainstorm` when: deciding *what* to build, comparing approaches, scanning industry, exploring a problem space.
+
+- Use `/brainstorm` when: deciding _what_ to build, comparing approaches, scanning industry, exploring a problem space.
 - Use `/squad` when: you've decided and want to implement.
 - Use `/squad-review` when: implementation is done and you want a multi-perspective review.
 - Use `WebSearch` directly when: you need one specific answer, not a brainstorm framing.
 
 ### Sources reliability
+
 Prefer (in this order): official docs, recognized engineering blogs (e.g., Stripe, AWS, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Netflix Tech Blog), academic / standards bodies, recognized newsletters (Pragmatic Engineer, Increment), GitHub READMEs of widely-adopted libraries, conference talks. Avoid: SEO listicles, vendor-marketing pieces masquerading as articles, AI-generated content farms.
 
 ### Output format consistency
+
 Always close with a "Next steps" block and a flat list of all sources used. The Next steps block is the bridge from brainstorm to action — never omit it.

Filenames or diff content drawn into the subject must be sanitized the same way. If you cannot represent the subject without metacharacters, prefer the heredoc output form (Step 8) over any quoted `-m` form.

 ## Considerations
 
 ### Style consistency
+
 The repo's existing commit log is the strongest signal for style. If the repo uses lowercase scopes, follow it. If the repo uses no scopes, follow it. If the repo uses sentence-case subjects, follow it. Do not impose an external style.
 
 ### Length
+
 Hard cap subject at 50 chars. If you cannot fit the description in 50 chars, the change is probably too broad — note that and suggest splitting.
 
 ### Tense
+
 Imperative ("add", not "added" or "adds"). The convention is "If applied, this commit will <subject>".
 
 ### Truthfulness
+
 The message must accurately describe what the diff actually does. Do not embellish, speculate about motivations the diff does not support, or include "improvements" that were not made.
