+    template: `# Parallel Exploration (Background Scout Fan-Out)
+
+## Overview
+
+When you need to answer "where/how does X work?" across multiple domains (codebase, tests, docs, OSS), investigating sequentially wastes time. Each investigation is independent and can happen in parallel.
+
+**Core principle:** Decompose into independent sub-questions, spawn one \`hive_hive_background_task\` per sub-question, collect results asynchronously.
+
+**Safe in Planning mode:** This is read-only exploration. It is OK to use during exploratory research even when there is no feature, no plan, and no approved tasks.
+
+**This skill is for read-only research.** For parallel implementation work, use \`hive_skill("dispatching-parallel-agents")\` with \`hive_exec_start\`.
+
+## When to Use
+
+**Default to this skill when:**
+**Use when:**
+- Investigation spans multiple domains (code + tests + docs)
+- User asks **2+ questions across different domains** (e.g., code + tests, code + docs/OSS, code + config/runtime)
+- Questions are independent (answer to A doesn't affect B)
+- User asks **3+ independent questions** (often as a numbered list or separate bullets)
+- No edits needed (read-only exploration)
+- User asks for an explorationthat likely spans multiple files/packages
+- The work is read-only and the questions can be investigated independently
+
+**Only skip this skill when:**
+- Investigation requires shared state or context between questions
+- It's a single focused question that is genuinely answerable with **one quick grep + one file read**
+- Questions are dependent (answer A materially changes what to ask for B)
+- Work involves file edits (use Hive tasks / Forager instead)
+
+**Important:** Do not treat "this is exploratory" as a reason to avoid delegation. This skill is specifically for exploratory research when fan-out makes it faster and cleaner.
+
+## The Pattern
+
+### 1. Decompose Into Independent Questions
+
+Split your investigation into 2-4 independent sub-questions. Good decomposition:
+
+| Domain | Question Example |
+|--------|------------------|
+| Codebase | "Where is X implemented? What files define it?" |
+| Tests | "How is X tested? What test patterns exist?" |
+| Docs/OSS | "How do other projects implement X? What's the recommended pattern?" |
+| Config | "How is X configured? What environment variables affect it?" |
+
+**Bad decomposition (dependent questions):**
+- "What is X?" then "How is X used?" (second depends on first)
+- "Find the bug" then "Fix the bug" (not read-only)
+
+### 2. Spawn Background Tasks (Fan-Out)
+
+Launch all tasks before waiting for any results:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// Fan-out: spawn all tasks first
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Find hive_background_task implementation",
+  prompt: \`Where is hive_background_task implemented and registered?
+    - Find the tool definition
+    - Find the plugin registration
+    - Return file paths with line numbers\`,
+  sync: false
+})
+
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Analyze background task concurrency",
+  prompt: \`How does background task concurrency/queueing work?
+    - Find the manager/scheduler code
+    - Document the concurrency model
+    - Return file paths with evidence\`,
+  sync: false
+})
+
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Find parent notification mechanism",
+  prompt: \`How does parent notification work for background tasks?
+    - Where is the notification built?
+    - How is it sent to the parent session?
+    - Return file paths with evidence\`,
+  sync: false
+})
+\`\`\`
+
+**Key points:**
+- Use \`agent: "scout-researcher"\` for read-only exploration
+- Use \`sync: false\` to return immediately (non-blocking)
+- Give each task a clear, focused \`description\`
+- Make prompts specific about what evidence to return
+
+### 3. Continue Working (Optional)
+
+While tasks run, you can:
+- Work on other aspects of the problem
+- Prepare synthesis structure
+- Start drafting based on what you already know
+
+You'll receive a \`<system-reminder>\` notification when each task completes.
+
+### 4. Collect Results
+
+When notified of completion, retrieve results:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// Get output from completed task
+hive_background_output({
+  task_id: "task-abc123",
+  block: false  // Don't wait, task already done
+})
+\`\`\`
+
+**For incremental output (long-running tasks):**
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// First call - get initial output
+hive_background_output({
+  task_id: "task-abc123",
+  block: true,      // Wait for output
+  timeout: 30000    // 30 second timeout
+})
+// Returns: { output: "...", cursor: "5" }
+
+// Later call - get new output since cursor
+hive_background_output({
+  task_id: "task-abc123",
+  cursor: "5",      // Resume from message 5
+  block: true
+})
+\`\`\`
+
+### 5. Synthesize Findings
+
+Combine results from all tasks:
+- Cross-reference findings (file X mentioned by tasks A and B)
+- Identify gaps (task C found nothing, need different approach)
+- Build coherent answer from parallel evidence
+
+### 6. Cleanup (If Needed)
+
+Cancel tasks that are no longer needed:
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// Cancel specific task
+hive_background_cancel({ task_id: "task-abc123" })
+
+// Cancel all your background tasks
+hive_background_cancel({ all: true })
+\`\`\`
+
+## Prompt Templates
+
+### Codebase Slice
+
+\`\`\`
+Investigate [TOPIC] in the codebase:
+- Where is [X] defined/implemented?
+- What files contain [X]?
+- How does [X] interact with [Y]?
+
+Return:
+- File paths with line numbers
+- Brief code snippets as evidence
+- Key patterns observed
+\`\`\`
+
+### Tests Slice
+
+\`\`\`
+Investigate how [TOPIC] is tested:
+- What test files cover [X]?
+- What testing patterns are used?
+- What edge cases are tested?
+
+Return:
+- Test file paths
+- Example test patterns
+- Coverage gaps if obvious
+\`\`\`
+
+### Docs/OSS Slice
+
+\`\`\`
+Research [TOPIC] in external sources:
+- How do other projects implement [X]?
+- What does the official documentation say?
+- What are common patterns/anti-patterns?
+
+Return:
+- Links to relevant docs/repos
+- Key recommendations
+- Patterns that apply to our codebase
+\`\`\`
+
+## Real Example
+
+**Investigation:** "How does the background task system work?"
+
+**Decomposition:**
+1. Implementation: Where is \`hive_background_task\` tool defined?
+2. Concurrency: How does task scheduling/queueing work?
+3. Notifications: How does parent session get notified?
+
+**Fan-out:**
+\`\`\`typescript
+// Task 1: Implementation
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Find hive_background_task implementation",
+  prompt: "Where is hive_background_task implemented? Find tool definition and registration.",
+  sync: false
+})
+
+// Task 2: Concurrency
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Analyze concurrency model",
+  prompt: "How does background task concurrency work? Find the manager/scheduler.",
+  sync: false
+})
+
+// Task 3: Notifications
+hive_background_task({
+  agent: "scout-researcher",
+  description: "Find notification mechanism",
+  prompt: "How are parent sessions notified of task completion?",
+  sync: false
+})
+\`\`\`
+
+**Results:**
+- Task 1: Found \`background-tools.ts\` (tool definition), \`index.ts\` (registration)
+- Task 2: Found \`manager.ts\` with concurrency=3 default, queue-based scheduling
+- Task 3: Found \`session.prompt()\` call in manager for parent notification
+
+**Synthesis:** Complete picture of background task lifecycle in ~1/3 the time of sequential investigation.
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+**Spawning sequentially (defeats the purpose):**
+\`\`\`typescript
+// BAD: Wait for each before spawning next
+const result1 = await hive_background_task({ ..., sync: true })
+const result2 = await hive_background_task({ ..., sync: true })
+\`\`\`
+
+\`\`\`typescript
+// GOOD: Spawn all, then collect
+hive_background_task({ ..., sync: false })  // Returns immediately
+hive_background_task({ ..., sync: false })  // Returns immediately
+hive_background_task({ ..., sync: false })  // Returns immediately
+// ... later, collect results with hive_background_output
+\`\`\`
+
+**Too many tasks (diminishing returns):**
+- 2-4 tasks: Good parallelization
+- 5+ tasks: Overhead exceeds benefit, harder to synthesize
+
+**Dependent questions:**
+- Don't spawn task B if it needs task A's answer
+- Either make them independent or run sequentially
+
+**Using for edits:**
+- Scout is read-only; use Forager for implementation
+- This skill is for exploration, not execution
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. **Speed** - 3 investigations in time of 1
+2. **Focus** - Each Scout has narrow scope
+3. **Independence** - No interference between tasks
+4. **Flexibility** - Cancel unneeded tasks, add new ones
+
+## Verification
+
+After using this pattern, verify:
+- [ ] All tasks spawned before collecting any results (true fan-out)
+- [ ] Received notifications for completed tasks
+- [ ] Successfully retrieved output with \`hive_background_output\`
+- [ ] Synthesized findings into coherent answer`

-If background_task rejects workdir/idempotencyKey/feature/task/attempt parameters or the worker runs in the wrong directory:
-
-**Symptom**: "Unknown parameter: workdir" or worker operates on main repo instead of worktree
-**Cause**: background_task tool is not Hive's provider (agent-hive plugin not loaded last)
-**Fix**:
-1. Ensure agent-hive loads AFTER any other plugin that registers background_* tools
-2. Confirm tool outputs include \`provider: "hive"\`
-3. Re-run hive_exec_start and then background_task`,
