…bagent delegation ## Intent Replace the minimal five-sentence system prompt with a structured, meta-level agent prompt that works across any workflow domain and any AI platform. The new prompt teaches the agent *how to operate* rather than describing what it does, covering the core whats_next() loop, scoping discipline, clarification before action, and subagent delegation patterns introduced by the capability hint and review systems. ## Key decisions - Tech-agnostic role definition: removed 'develop software features' framing; the agent now describes itself as a structured, workflow-driven executor - Clarify before calling whats_next(): ambiguous user messages must prompt a clarifying question first, not a silent interpretation - Subagent delegation via capability hints: if the platform supports model switching use the hinted model/agent; otherwise decompose phase work into independent atomic tasks and delegate each to the appropriate subagent type - Reviews always delegated to thinking subagent: unconditional, regardless of whether a capability model is configured in .vibe/config.yaml - Task management section kept as isolated last paragraph so the beads plugin can replace that single sentence when it takes over task tracking
