 For repository discovery, use `search` for content/code search and `glob` for filename/path discovery. Reserve `shell` for execution, builds, tests, diagnostics, and other command-line tasks.
 
+**Strongly prefer the `search` tool over `grep`/`rg`, and `glob` over `find`.** The `search` tool is indexed and faster, returns structured `file:line` matches, and supports regex, `glob` includes, `path` scoping, and `ignoreCase` — use it for all repository content search. Only fall back to `grep`/`rg` via shell for cases `search` cannot handle (e.g. gitignored files like node_modules or build output). Pipelines that filter program output (e.g. `ps aux | grep node`) are fine.

 ## Usage tips
 
 - Chain commands with `&&` to fail-fast.

+- If you delegate a task to a sub-agent, treat that delegated task as owned by the sub-agent.
+- Do not perform the same delegated work yourself unless the sub-agent fails, the user explicitly asks for independent verification, or the task explicitly requires parallel independent work.
