ping-pong
Pong-pong
Coordinate two subagents that take turns improving the same deliverable, plus a third subagent that reviews it independently. Work in small, verifiable slices. Each partner inspects the other's work before taking the next turn.
You are the coordinator. Own the task brief, baton, and completion decision. The pair owns implementation. The reviewer owns findings. Keep user decisions and progress in the main conversation. Pass the baton autonomously within a small batch, then pause for human review.
Set up the pair
Read the task and applicable project instructions. Record the requested outcome, acceptance criteria, constraints, existing work, and how to check the result. Capture a baseline that distinguishes this task's changes from pre-existing edits.
Choose two complementary focuses. Default to:
| Agent | Focus |
|---|---|
| A | Correctness and coverage. Does the result satisfy the request, including relevant failure cases? |
| B | Simplicity and maintainability. Can the result be easier to understand, use, and change? |
| Reviewer | Independently check the complete result against the request and project constraints. |
Adapt the focuses to the deliverable when useful, such as factual accuracy and editorial clarity for prose. State the chosen focuses once. Both partners remain responsible for the whole task; a focus is a lens, not exclusive ownership of certain files or checks.
