## Subagent binding "task subagent" → `Agent(subagent_type: budget-subagent, run_in_background: true, prompt: <prompt>)`. ## Model resolution The subagent model is controlled by the `model` frontmatter of the resolved `budget-subagent.md` agent file: `.claude/agents/budget-subagent.md` takes precedence over `~/.claude/agents/budget-subagent.md`. Do not pass a per-spawn model parameter. ## Dispatch mode Dispatch in the background only from a main agent, routed SAI coordinator, or routed SAI worker whose lifetime outlives the child. Capture and await the continuation on the dispatcher's own turn. ## Spawn prompt Give one task per spawn: what to do, the files or area it covers, and, when you need a specific result, the exact shape to return. Without a shape the subagent returns its structured completion report. Split independent tasks into separate spawns. ## Task contract The agent fetches `@sai/policies/budget-agent.md`, which owns single-task scope, the result shape (the task's own when it defines one, else the structured completion report), bounded output, permission-block aborts, the completion criterion (result achieved or call cap reached, reporting what was tried), and the approximately 30-call soft limit. Fetch @sai/policies/budget-agent.md
