Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use codebase-pilot skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks — dispatches fresh subagents scoped to agents.json boundaries
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
