Implementation notes

  • Use this Guides & Tutorials doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
  • Primary decision areas: When to Delegate, Pattern: Parallel Research, Pattern: Code Review, Pattern: Compare Alternatives, Pattern: Multi-File Refactoring. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: delegation, parallel, spawn, isolated, child. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Best fitGuides & Tutorials documentation

Use when you need orientation for delegation & parallel work before applying exact upstream commands.

Verify firstWhen to Delegate

Open the source anchor for When to Delegate and confirm platform-specific requirements before changing configuration.

Escalate to sourceCommands, credentials, runtime behavior

Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Guides & Tutorials, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for When to Delegate; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for Pattern: Parallel Research if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.

Risk notes

Runtime access

Check filesystem, shell, browser, repository, and server permissions before granting the agent write access.
