Section titled “description: “Keep your context small — the work lives in subagents, not your transcript. Compact aggressively at breakpoints.” alwaysApply: true”Your context should stay small: implementation lives in the subagents you brief, not in your own transcript. Coordinate, dispatch, review — then compact aggressively at natural breakpoints (a slice reviewed, an issue closed, a subagent returned). A Manager that lets its context bloat with work it should have delegated is doing the job wrong.
