What's New

Subagent Output Budget — Task/subagent prompts now get a 500-word output limit injected via PreToolUse hook.

How it works

  • Hook injects OUTPUT FORMAT block into every Task tool call
  • Subagents are instructed to: write artifacts to files, index findings into shared KB, return only a concise summary
  • Parent agent can search() the shared knowledge base for details
  • Bash subagents auto-upgrade to general-purpose for MCP tool access

Test coverage

  • 11 tests covering hook injection, shared KB pipeline, and budget measurement
  • tests/subagent-budget.test.ts
