Hand off the current task to a fresh background agent running in its own workmux worktree, passing a self-contained prompt synthesized from this conversation's context. Use when the user wants to outsource, delegate, or "hand off" implementation work to a separate agent session (e.g. "handoff this fix", "outsource it to a ccd agent", "spin up an agent to do X").
Delegate a code review to pi (`pi /skill:review`) running in a tmux window, then dispatch subagents to fix each finding and check it off the review file. Use when the user wants an automated review-and-fix loop over their current changes.
Teach a topic using the Feynman technique — explain simply, have the user re-explain, identify gaps, re-teach, and loop until they can explain it on their own. Use when the user wants to deeply understand a topic, test their understanding, or mentions "Feynman".
Build a focused 20-hour learning plan for a topic, structured as 10 two-hour sessions following the Pareto principle (20% that drives 80% of results). Use when the user wants to learn a topic fast, build a study plan, or create a structured curriculum.
Create or update a GitHub pull request for the current branch, committing pending changes first. Use when the user wants to open a PR, update an existing PR, or ship a branch for review.
Ask questions about specific GitHub code repositories using DeepWiki. Use when the user asks about a repo's code, architecture, configuration, modules, APIs, examples, or behavior and provides a GitHub repository in owner/repo form or as a GitHub URL.

--toon when fetching content, --json only when piping to jqexacli login to store in OS keychain--text to include full content, --highlights for snippets--poll with research tasks to wait for resultsPick the right command first — wrong command = wrong output:
| Goal | Command |
|---|---|
| Find code examples / implementations | exacli code |
| Web search with content | exacli search --text or --highlights |
| Get a synthesized answer with citations | exacli answer |
| Deep multi-step research report | exacli research --poll (fall back to exacli answer on 404) |
| Fetch specific URL content | exacli contents <url> |
| Find pages similar to a URL | exacli similar <url> |
Measured on 10 results with no content flags (--text/--highlights/--summary off):
| Flag | Chars | Est. tokens | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| (none) | ~3,300 | ~830 | Agent contexts with metadata only — omits null/empty fields |
--toon | ~4,200 | ~1,050 | Agent contexts with content — flat key: value, no formatting overhead |
--json | ~5,000 | ~1,250 | Scripting only — most verbose due to null fields + structural chars |
Key insight: --json is ~50% larger than the default for the same data because it includes "highlights": null, "highlightScores": null, "text": "", "summary": "" on every result. Prefer default or --toon to keep context small; reach for --json only when piping to jq.
# Metadata-only: default is most compact
exacli search "query"
# With content: --toon is most compact
exacli search "query" --text --toon
# Scripting: --json when you need jq field extraction

exacli research-status "task-id" --json | jq '{status, output}'
Search for code examples using the Exa Code API. Use this when the user needs actual code, implementations, or code-focused results — not search.
