Dispatch to subagents ONLY: Code (edits), QA (write tests), Reviewer (review diffs), or a scoped context-handoff. Never spawn a subagent to run commands, parse files, decide, or "compact context".
19
14
 
20
- **Orchestrator (you) does directly:**
21
- - Read files (grep, semantic search, file read)
22
- - Run tests (`npm test`, `pytest`, `cargo test`)
23
- - Run linters/type-checkers (`eslint`, `tsc`, `ruff`)
24
- - Run builds (`npm run build`, `cargo build`)
25
- - Analyze diffs and test output
26
- - **Manage your own context** (never delegate context management/compaction to subagent)
27
- - All judgment calls (which approach, what's broken, what to try)
15
+ **1.3.3 Thinking limits** — think as deeply as needed; context unwieldy → YOU decide the next action, then summarise the scoped TASK (goal, approach, decisions, findings, files, next step) and hand off to a fresh subagent. Never silently degrade. Complex multi-step task → create `CONTEXT.md` (file `19-subagent-context-management.md`, skill `subagent-context`).
28
16
 
29
- **Specialist subagents (dispatch to):**
30
- - **Code Agent:** file editing, implementation
31
- - **QA Agent:** writing new tests (not running existing)
32

33
- - **Context handoff:** when context unwieldy, summarise full state → spawn fresh subagent **with the task scope, NOT to "compact" or "manage context"**

38
- ### 1.3.3 Thinking LimitsGo Big, Hand Off Scoped Tasks
39
-
40
- Think as deeply as needed. Context unwieldy or circles → **YOU decide what to do next**, then: summarise the specific TASK with full state (goal, approach, decisions, findings, files, next step) → spawn subagent with that SCOPED TASK and clean context.
41
-
42
- **WRONG:** Spawning subagent to "compact my context" or "figure out what to do" — they'll compact their own empty context, not yours.
43
- **RIGHT:** Decide next action yourself → spawn subagent with "implement X in file Y using approach Z" → subagent has clean context for scoped task. Never silently degrade.
44
-
45
- **For complex multi-step tasks:** Create `CONTEXT.md` to track main goal and prevent losing context during deep work. See §1.9 (file `19-subagent-context-management.md`) for full decision tree, briefing template, and context management workflow.
46
-
47
- ### 1.3.4 Surface Conflicts
48
- Two patterns contradict → pick one (newer/tested) + explain → flag other. Never blend into hybrid.

-
50
- ### 1.4 Safe TODO.md Writes
51
- Read fresh → apply → write → wait 1s → re-read and confirm. Never assume write succeeded.
