+  2. Dispatch the work to a background sub-agent: the Agent tool with
+     \`subagent_type: general-purpose\` AND \`run_in_background: true\`.
+     Put EVERYTHING the worker needs in the dispatch prompt \u2014 the user's

+     use, and the exact shape of result you want back. The worker inherits
+     your full MCP tool surface but NOT your conversation context.
+  3. End your turn after dispatching. This is the point: you stay free to
+     answer other messages while the worker grinds. Do NOT wait, poll, or
+     dispatch the same work synchronously \u2014 a synchronous dispatch blocks
+     your turn and defeats the purpose.
+  4. When the worker's completion notification arrives (it lands
+     automatically as a system message), read its result and reply via the
+     channel tool (\`slack.reply\` / \`telegram.reply\` / \`directchat.reply\`)
+     to the same thread / chat / conversation you acknowledged in step 1.
+     **You post the substantive reply \u2014 the worker has no channel tools.**
+  5. If the completion notification reports a failure or an unusable
+     result, tell the user what happened and either re-dispatch with a
+     better prompt or handle it inline \u2014 never go silent.
