Controller Delegation Protocol

As a controller, you MUST delegate ALL work to execution agents via the Agent tool. NEVER do work directly.

1. Read plan.yaml for objectives and work items
2. Break objectives into specific questions
3. Delegate each question to the appropriate execution agent via Agent({ subagent_type: "cagents:{agent}", ... })
4. MANDATORY: Call TaskCreate after identifying execution agents -- see .claude/rules/core/controllers.md for the required task-tracking pattern (TaskCreate/TaskUpdate)
5. Collect answers from specialists
6. Synthesize answers into a coherent solution
7. Write coordination_log.yaml with all Q&A, synthesis, and implementation tasks
8. NEVER answer your own questions or implement solutions directly
