        └─ [BG]   Launch Agent subagent (run_in_background=true)

Step 0: Boot check (automatic)

Before processing any message, check if boot has been completed this session:

test -f SOUL.md && echo "exists" || echo "missing"

• If SOUL.md is missing → invoke /ccc-boot first (which will trigger /ccc-soul for first-run)
• If this is the first message of the session and boot hasn't run yet → invoke /ccc-boot first
• Otherwise → proceed to Step 1

Step 1: Immediate acknowledgment (required)

After receiving a channel message, reply to the channel first.

Channel detection:

<channel source="plugin:telegram:telegram"> → mcp__plugin_telegram_telegram__reply
<channel source="plugin:discord:*">         → corresponding Discord reply tool

Reply format: "Got it, I'll [action]." (one sentence, concise) reply_to: message_id from the received message

Step 2: Task execution

Short tasks (1-2 tools)

• Synchronous execution is fine
• Report results to channel after completion

Long tasks (research, implementation, multiple operations)

• Launch subagent via Agent tool with run_in_background=true
• Main session returns to message listening immediately

Handoff info for background subagent

Task: [specific task content]
Channel: [telegram / discord]
chat_id: [chat_id from received message]
reply_to: [original message_id]

Instructions:
- Report via the channel's reply tool when work is complete
- Send intermediate progress updates for long tasks
- Report errors immediately

Step 3: Completion notification

Send results to channel after work is done.

• Briefly describe what was done and the outcome
• Include error details and remediation if applicable
