Background Agent Pings
Trust system reminders as agent progress notifications. Don't poll.
Pattern
When you launch a background agent, continue working on other tasks . The system will notify you via reminders when:
Agent makes progress: Agent <id progress: X new tools used, Y new tokens
Agent writes output file (check the path you specified)
DO
DON'T
Why This Matters
Polling burns tokens on repeated checks
TaskOutput floods main context with full agent transcript
System reminders are free they're pushed to you automatically
Continue productive work while waiting

This session: Realized polling for agent output wasted time when system reminders already provide progress updates
