No Polling for Background Agents
When launching parallel background agents, do NOT poll with sleep loops.
Pattern
Background agents write to status files when complete. Wait for them naturally.
DO
- Launch agents with
run_in_background: true - Continue with other work while agents run
- Check status file only when user asks or when you need results to proceed
- Trust the agent completion system
DON'T
- Run
sleep 10 && cat status.txtin loops - Continuously poll for completion
