Orchestrating Subagents

Core Principles

Always suggest subagent invocation when task matches their expertise
User has final decision on invocation
Prefer multiple parallel invocations for independent tasks with strict scopes
ALWAYS define: files to modify, files NOT to touch, specific task boundaries

When to Use Parallel Invocation

Invoke multiple subagents in a single message when:

Tasks are completely independent
Each task has strict, non-overlapping scope
No task depends on another's results

Examples:

✓ "Explore authentication flow" + "Review recent auth changes" (parallel)
✗ "Explore auth flow then refactor based on findings" (sequential - second depends on first)

Scope Definition Template

When proposing subagent invocation, use this structure:

Task: [Clear, single-sentence description]

Files to modify: [Explicit list with paths]

Files NOT to touch: [Explicit exclusions - be specific]

Constraints: 
- [Business rules to follow]
- [Patterns to maintain]
- [Technical requirements]

Reference docs: [@AGENTS.md, @docs/architecture.md, etc.]

Decision Framework

Before suggesting subagents, verify:

Is the scope clearly bounded? Can you define exact files and boundaries?
Is it independent? Does it require results from another task first?
Is it delegable? Would a subagent have enough context?

If any answer is "no", handle the task directly or break it down further.

Anti-patterns to Avoid

Vague file specifications ("update related files")
Missing exclusions (failing to specify what NOT to touch)
Sequential tasks disguised as parallel (one depends on the other)
Unbounded scopes ("refactor the codebase")
Missing context references (no @file references for subagent to read)
