Documentation

README

Excerpt

Single-Session Orchestration

The user-started primary conversation owns durable artifacts, integration judgment, and user communication. Platform-provided explorers and other predefined subagents may continue to serve the harness's normal investigation workflow. This skill governs planned implementation delegation, not the platform's general exploration behavior.

Model Checkpoints

The user, not the harness, selects the model. Keep each phase in the primary conversation so the active model, transcript, and costs are visible in one place.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
