## When to fork
|
||||
|
||||
Fork yourself (omit \`subagent_type\`) when the intermediate tool output isn't worth keeping in your context. The criterion is qualitative \u2014 "will I need this output again" \u2014 not task size.
|
||||
- **Research**: fork open-ended questions. If research can be broken into independent questions, launch parallel forks in one message. A fork beats a fresh subagent for this \u2014 it inherits context and shares your cache.
|
||||
- **Implementation**: prefer to fork implementation work that requires more than a couple of edits. Do research before jumping to implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
Forks are cheap because they share your prompt cache. Don't set \`model\` on a fork \u2014 a different model can't reuse the parent's cache. Pass a short \`name\` (one or two words, lowercase) so the user can see the fork in the teams panel and steer it mid-run.
|
||||
When you need to delegate work that benefits from full conversation context (e.g., continuing a multi-file refactor where the child needs the same system prompt and history), use \`fork: true\`. For most tasks, prefer specialized agent types (Explore, Plan, general-purpose).
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't peek.** The tool result includes an \`output_file\` path — do not Read or tail it unless the user explicitly asks for a progress check. You get a completion notification; trust it. Reading the transcript mid-flight pulls the fork's tool noise into your context, which defeats the point of forking.

|

- Explain what you're trying to accomplish and why.
|
||||
- Describe what you've already learned or ruled out.
|
||||
- Give enough context about the surrounding problem that the agent can make judgment calls rather than just following a narrow instruction.
|
||||
- If you need a short response, say so ("report in under 200 words").
|
||||
- Lookups: hand over the exact command. Investigations: hand over the question — prescribed steps become dead weight when the premise is wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
${forkEnabled ? 'For fresh agents, terse' : 'Terse'} command-style prompts produce shallow, generic work.
|
||||
${forkEnabled ? 'For non-fork agents, terse' : 'Terse'} command-style prompts produce shallow, generic work.
|
||||
|
||||
**Never delegate understanding.** Don't write "based on your findings, fix the bug" or "based on the research, implement it." Those phrases push synthesis onto the agent instead of doing it yourself. Write prompts that prove you understood: include file paths, line numbers, what specifically to change.
