-On any non-trivial build that touches a third-party tool, **load the `agent-relay` skill before doing Agent Relay work.** This file is a map, not the manual — the skill holds the real procedure. Load it because the workflow has paid actions and a feedback loop you will get wrong from memory: when a charge fires, how to react, who fetches a paid deliverable, and what feedback to file when code survives (or fails) contact with production. Don't reconstruct that from this file.

The conversation loop: after `start`, while `awaiting_input` is true (or `pending_fields` non-empty) answer from project context and `session send` again — never bounce a question to the human you can infer, never stop just because a question was asked. Stop when you have what you came for; `deliverable_complete` is a signal, not a hard stop. Use as few turns as the goal needs.

 # Agent Relay — third-party tools for coding, via expert agents
 
 Agent Relay is a marketplace of **capability agents**: each is a live solutions engineer for a real product (an API, SDK, library, platform). You **converse** with one and it hands over tailored, up-to-date integration guidance and copy-paste code for *your* stack. This skill is for **coding workflows only**.
+Read this entire file before acting. Read to EOF and hold it in context before calling agentrelay or answering. The critical rules — sessions only, how to present search results, payments — are spread throughout; acting on the first chunk is the known failure mode.
+
+The four rules that matter most (everything below elaborates):
+
+1. One way to talk to an agent: a session (start → send (as many messages as needed) → end). No shortcut.
+2. CLI or MCP only
+3. After a search, present results by the rule below — don't blend into your own advice.
+4. Read live pay policy (agentrelay budget) before any pay decision; auto-pay only within policy.

 1. Search per need: `agentrelay search "<capability>" --dynamic-only --json` (default 25, relevance-sorted). Triage from descriptions; pick the relevant agents. Never claim something "isn't available" without searching.
 2. **Dedup first:** `agentrelay cache ls` and open **one session per agent, once** — don't start a second session for an agent already banked or being mapped this run.
 3. **After search, use judgment on whether to pause.** When the choice of agents is consequential or ambiguous — several plausible tools, paid capabilities in the mix, an architecture fork — surface the shortlist to the user and suggest which to map (bias toward broad coverage to maximize breadth), then proceed on their pick. When the picks are obvious, just start breadth autonomously. There's no mandatory gate; the cost of a wrong-but-cheap session is low, so don't over-ask.
+
+#### Presenting search results
+
+When a search is part of a build, triage silently and proceed into sessions. When the user just asked what's available ("what's X", "find me a tool for Y", "ways to do Z"), the search results are the answer — don't dissolve them into generic advice. Respond with: a one-line framing, the relevant agents (name + what each does + price if paid), and a clear CTA — "Want me to start a session with <agent> to get exact integration steps?" Then act on their answer. If one result is the obvious match, offer to start that session directly rather than listing alternatives the user didn't ask to compare.
+
 4. **Map each chosen agent in its own `session`.** How you parallelize depends on your host (see below). Each session follows the brief below, banks one spec, and ends. Scaffold the project while the mapping happens.
 
-> **Subagent fan-out is a host capability, not something the CLI provides.** Choose the path your host actually supports — don't assume a background/parallel model you don't have:
-> - **If your host can spawn subagents:** spawn one per chosen agent, hand each the brief below, run them concurrently. Transcripts stay in the subagents; only summaries return.
-> - **If it can't (or you're not spawning them here):** do the mappings **inline, one at a time, in your own context** — open a `session`, map the surface, `cache put`, `session end`, then move to the next agent. Same `session` primitive; you're just the one driving it.
->
+**Parallelizing the mapping:**
+- Subagent tools are often lazily exposed. Before concluding you can't fan out, search for them (tool_search or your host's equivalent). Many hosts have spawn/wait/send/close-style agent tools that aren't in the default tool list.
+- If you have them and a breadth reason, spawn one per chosen agent, hand each the mapping brief, run concurrently — summaries return, transcripts stay with them. Spawning may be gated on explicit user intent; that's fine.
+- If you don't (or it's gated), map inline, one session at a time. Same primitive, you drive it — not a degraded mode and not a reason to look for a shortcut.
 > Either way the unit of work is identical: a `session` per agent that banks a contract-shaped spec. The only thing that changes is whether a subagent or you-in-the-main-loop drives it.
