+## Plan solo and team work
+
+The tool guidance asks agents to use `team_task` for substantial work with three or more steps, explicit task lists, and coordinated deliverables, including solo research, design, implementation, and verification. Single trivial tasks and conversation need no list. This is guidance, not automatic task creation or enforcement.
+
+Create independent tasks in one call:
+
+```json
+{"action":"create","tasks":[{"title":"Review parser behavior","description":"Acceptance: identify malformed-input failures with reproduction steps."},{"title":"Review display ordering","description":"Acceptance: compare implementation and display tests, and report mismatches."}]}
+```
+
+A batch creates 1–100 tasks atomically: invalid input leaves no tasks created. Use either `tasks` or top-level task fields, not both. Existing single-task creation remains supported. A title is enough for a simple task; description defaults to title and label defaults to its first three words, capped at 60 characters. Supply explicit acceptance criteria for substantial or delegated work. Dependencies must reference existing task UUIDs, so create prerequisites before dependent tasks.
+
+Start a task before working and complete it immediately after checking the result. One agent normally works on one task at a time; teammates can work in parallel. Never complete partial work or work with unresolved failures.
+
+Task list and mutation responses give the model compact summaries, including UUIDs, revisions, owners, and dependencies. `read` returns full descriptions and acceptance criteria. Expanded tool responses retain full records for people to inspect.
