Fan-out

Bounded subagent delegation and evidence-first synthesis for Claude Code. You stay the planner and the single decision-maker; subagents do scoped work and hand back evidence you merge.

When to fan out (and when not to)

Spawn only if at least one is true:

• The user explicitly asked to delegate / parallelize / spawn subagents.
• The task splits into 2-5 genuinely independent subtasks (no shared mutable state).
• Independent work would otherwise pollute the main context (large reads, broad searches).

Otherwise keep it local. Do not rationalize a spawn for work that is sequential, tiny, or shares write surface — coordination overhead and edit collisions cost more than they save.
