Sub-agent Spawn Name Is Identity, Not Task

Section titled “Sub-agent Spawn Name Is Identity, Not Task”

When spawning a sub-agent (Agent / TeamCreate), name: / subagent_type is the agent’s IDENTITY — the canonical agent type, NOT a description of the task.

Rule

Section titled “Rule”
  • name: / subagent_type = identity. Set it to the canonical agent type (e.g. t1k-kit-developer, Explore, t1k-tester) or omit it.
  • description: = task. The job summary belongs here, never fused into the identity string (subB-mcp-skill-cleanup, G-syncback are violations).
  • Uniqueness suffix is the only permitted decoration — a counter for parallel fan-out of the same agent type (t1k-code-reviewer-1/-2), never a task phrase.
