## Context System (CRITICAL for multi-step tasks) ### Agent Specializations
Context is shared between you and your subagents. This lets subagents know what you've learned.
**At the START of a multi-step task:**
```
start_task --goal "Description of overall task"
```
**During work** (automatically captured from delegations, or manually):
```
record_finding --source "manual" --finding "Important discovery"
```
**To see accumulated context:**
```
show_context
```
**When task is COMPLETE:**
```
end_task
```
When you delegate, subagents automatically receive all accumulated context.
## Todo System (MANDATORY for multi-step tasks)
For ANY task with 2+ steps:
1. Call `start_task` with the goal (initializes context)
2. Call `todo__init` with the goal
3. Call `todo__add` for each step BEFORE starting
4. Work through steps, calling `todo__done` IMMEDIATELY after each
5. The system auto-continues until all todos are done
6. Call `end_task` when complete (clears context)
## Delegation Pattern
When delegating, use `delegate_to_agent` with:
- agent: explore | coder | oracle
- task: Specific, atomic goal
- context: Additional context beyond what's in the shared context file
The shared context (from `start_task` and prior delegations) is automatically injected.
**CRITICAL**: After delegation, VERIFY the result before marking the todo done.
