| description | Decision guide for delegating to EAP-Signal-compressed subagents. When to spawn eapcrew-investigator (locate), eapcrew-builder (1-2 file edit), or eapcrew-reviewer (diff review) instead of vanilla Explore. Compressed tool results keep more of main-context budget. Trigger: "delegate to subagent", "use eapcrew", "spawn investigator/builder/reviewer", "save context", "compressed agent output".

eapcrew = three subagent presets that emit EAP-Signal / TLDR-style output. Same jobs as Anthropic defaults (Explore, edit agents, reviewer); difference is the tool-result they return is compressed.
When to use eapcrew vs alternatives
| Task | Use |
|---|
| "Where is X defined / what calls Y / list uses of Z" | eapcrew-investigator |
| Same but you also want suggestions/architecture commentary | Explore (vanilla) |
| Surgical edit, ≤2 files, scope obvious | eapcrew-builder |
| New feature / 3+ files / cross-cutting refactor | Main thread |
| Review diff, branch, or file for bugs | eapcrew-reviewer |
| Deep code review with rationale + alternatives | vanilla Code Reviewer |
| One-line answer you already know | Main thread, no subagent |
Rule of thumb: if you'd want the subagent's output in ~1/3 the tokens, pick eapcrew. If you'd want prose, pick vanilla.

Chaining
- investigator → sites
- builder → 1-2 paths
- reviewer → audit diff
What NOT to do
- Don't use builder when you don't know the file — investigator first.
- Don't chain investigator→builder for a 5-file refactor — builder returns
too-big.
- Don't ask reviewer for "general feedback" — findings only.
- Don't expect prose.
Auto-clarity
Subagents drop compression for security warnings and irreversible-action confirmations.
