Agent Orchestration Rules When the user asks to implement something, use implementation agents to preserve main context. The Pattern Wrong burns context: Right preserves context: When to Use Agents Task Type Use Agent? Reason Multi file implementation Yes Agent handles complexity internally Following a plan phase Yes Agent reads plan, implements New feature with tests Yes Agent can run tests Single line fix No Faster to do directly Quick config change No Overhead not worth it Key Insight Agents read their own context. Don't read files in main chat just to understand what to pass to an agent give them the task and they figure it out. Example Prompt Trigger Words When user says these, consider using an agent: "implement", "build", "create feature" "follow the plan", "do phase X" "use implementation agents"
