Tasks & delegation
Coordination tools turn multi-step work into explicit state without transferring authority implicitly.
Todos
todo and /todo track named tasks and completion state. A todo records intent; it is not evidence that implementation or verification happened.
Operator decisions
ask_user requests input only when materially different choices require the operator. Questions and answers remain in the session lineage.
Subagents
delegate_task assigns a self-contained slice to an available agent. Use /agents to inspect the current roster and capability state. Delegated work returns evidence and artifacts to the parent session.
Authority
A delegate receives only the grants, workspace, and interfaces provided by the parent runtime. It does not inherit external credentials or approval bypass merely because the parent requested work.
