Run Reviewable Subtask Loop
Deliver coherent, recoverable increments and review the aggregate result before publication.
Delegation
Run in the main conversation by default. Delegation can increase usage: obtain explicit approval for the proposed agent count and scope before using subagents. Reuse that approval within its bounds; ask again before expanding the approved count or scope.
Establish the series
Inspect repository instructions, working-tree and worktree state, the intended base and its fetched remote counterpart, and relevant delivery checks. Follow repository freshness policy; preserve the intended base and user changes. Do not silently merge, rebase, reset, or overwrite work to make the starting state convenient.
Resolve the branch, commit, push, PR, merge, and cleanup permissions from the user's request. A request to implement does not automatically authorize publication or final merge. Ask only about missing permissions when needed, after completing independent preparatory work.
Use one integration branch and sequential commits by default. Use temporary subtask branches when repository policy or an actual isolation/recovery need justifies them. Never check out the same branch in two worktrees. Record initial base and integration SHAs and the exact branches created by this series.
Inspect remote triggers before publication. Read remote-ci.md when push, PR, or merge can start CI. Honor explicit local-only, cost, and separate-approval requirements.
