Use Subagents

Harness-agnostic how to delegate: split work, assign, isolate, verify, clean up.

• Owning workflows decide task goals; this skill defines how to delegate.
• Use whatever safe subagent mechanism the host provides.
• Host launcher/adapters own capability checks, launch, continuation, status, stop, and runtime-state cleanup — not this policy.
• Apply this policy with every launcher.

Delegate + split

When a safe launcher exists, delegate. “Small/easy” is not a reason to keep work in parent.

Parent keeps (strong reason only): framing/decomposition/synthesis · plan/tracker ownership · integrate/dispositions/acceptance · user comms · workspace + runtime cleanup · atomic no-judgment steps · explicit user prohibition

If you skip delegation, record why.
