README

Excerpt

subagent — one-shot / batch / background provider subagent

Wrong lane? A long-lived collaborator you message back and forth → /cc-fleet:team; a multi-phase pipeline with dependencies or resume → /cc-fleet:workflow; arbitration in cc-fleet-shared/routing.md.

When this skill cites cc-fleet-shared/<file>.md, OPEN it with the Read tool at ../cc-fleet-shared/<file>.md relative to this SKILL.md — the cited content is load-bearing, not optional background.
