-## SUBAGENT DELEGATION FORMAT
+## SUBAGENT DELEGATION: REFERENCE-BASED PROMPTS
 
-When delegating via Task tool, include these fields in the prompt:
+Point subagents to documentation instead of copying context. This preserves your context budget for orchestration.
 
+**Standard delegation format:**
 ```
 Agent: [role]
-Objective: [clear description of what to accomplish]
-Context: [relevant information from the plan and discovery brief]
-Acceptance Criteria:
-- [criterion 1]
-- [criterion 2]
-Files: [specific files to work with, if known]
-Constraints: [any limitations]
-On Failure: retry with [additional context] / decompose into [smaller tasks] / escalate to user
+Task: [brief description] (see plan.md Task #[N])
+Context Documents:
+- docs/project_notes/plan.md — Read Task #[N] for full acceptance criteria
+- docs/project_notes/discovery_brief.md — Read [relevant section] for background
+Files: [specific paths if known]
+
+Read the context documents for complete requirements, then implement.
+```
+
+**For simple, well-contained tasks, you can be more concise:**
+```
+Agent: Code Writer
+Task: Add email validation to User model (plan.md Task #3)
+Files: src/models/User.js
+
+Read plan.md Task #3 for acceptance criteria.
+```
+
+**Only include context directly in the prompt if:**
+- The task requires urgent clarification not in the docs
+- You're providing a critical override or correction
+- The subagent needs guidance on a specific ambiguity
+
+**Examples:**
+
+Reference-based (preferred):
+```
+Agent: Code Writer
+Task: Implement OAuth authentication flow (plan.md Task #7)
+Context Documents:
+- docs/project_notes/plan.md — Task #7 for acceptance criteria
+- docs/project_notes/discovery_brief.md — Authentication section
+Files: src/auth/, src/middleware/auth.js, src/config/oauth.js
+
+Read the context documents, then implement per the plan.
+```
+
+With override (when needed):
+```
+Agent: Code Writer
+Task: Implement OAuth authentication flow (plan.md Task #7)
+Context Documents:
+- docs/project_notes/plan.md — Task #7 for acceptance criteria
+Files: src/auth/, src/middleware/auth.js, src/config/oauth.js
+
+IMPORTANT: User just clarified that session storage should be Redis, not in-memory as originally planned. Read plan.md for other requirements.

+4. When Code Reviewer returns:

+

+- Keeps file contents in subagent context, not yours
