Prompt Templates

# Task Handoff Prompt Templates

> Usage: pick the matching template, fill in the `{...}` blanks, and use the whole block as the Agent tool's prompt. `model` and `subagent_type` follow the header's suggestion. All three required elements (goal & motivation / acceptance criteria / report format) are mandatory.
> ⚠️ The Agent tool has **no** `effort` parameter — the thoroughness requirement is already written into each template's body; don't try to pass it as a parameter.
> Before filling in: if you don't know the project's test/start commands, read that project's CLAUDE.md first; if there's no project CLAUDE.md, dispatch an Explore agent first to find out before handing off the task — don't leave it blank and guess.

## Universal reporting contract (already included at the end of every template, do not remove)

> Reporting rule: report only conclusions and the minimum necessary evidence; references must always use "absolute file path:line number." Do not paste full file contents or complete command output. Artifacts over 30 lines should be saved to {output path}, returning the path plus a 3-line summary. State honestly what couldn't be done or is uncertain — don't report "roughly done."
