<quick_start> Before any Bash command that uses ${AGENT_ROOT}, run:

source ./scripts/agent-env.sh

This resolves AGENT_ROOT to ./.agents in the current working directory.

When researching code, follow the tool escalation ladder:

1. Local first - Use Grep/Glob/Read for codebase exploration
2. Terminal research - Use fast CLI tools (w3m/lynx, curl, jq, rg, fd, gh) and DDG bangs
3. Built-in web - Use WebSearch/WebFetch for documentation and articles
4. Skills & Scripts - Use gh-cli skill for GitHub, scripts for Stack Overflow
5. MCP servers - Use Exa/Deepwiki/Chrome for complex research needs
