Summary

Surgical compression of delegation-instructions.md — removes 3 provably duplicate sections and fixes an internal tone contradiction. No behavioral changes, no capability reduction.

Changes

  • Deleted "Why Delegation Matters" section (lines 127-147) — verbatim duplicate of the Context Sink Pattern section above it
  • Deleted "Final Reminder" section (lines 290-297) — restates the TL;DR from lines 7-11
  • Replaced "Signs You're Violating This" (lines 44-53) with a calibration table that resolves the contradiction between "STOP. Delegate." and the file's own "Exception: simple single-file lookup"

What stays untouched

TL;DR, Token Conservation table, The Rule table, Immediate Delegation Triggers, full Context Sink Pattern, Agent Domain Honoring, Delegate Tool API reference, Session Resumption, Scaling, Large Session File Handling.

Token Impact

~1,400 tokens saved per session.

…egation-instructions

Deleted sections:
- 'Why Delegation Matters': duplicate of 'The Delegation Imperative' section above it;
  same token-conservation rationale restated verbatim
- 'Final Reminder': restated TL;DR and immediate-trigger content already present
  at the top and in dedicated sections; added no new information
- 'Signs You're Violating This': replaced with calibration table
  'When to Delegate vs. Act Directly' which gives actionable guidance instead
  of accusatory anti-pattern framing that contradicts the constructive tone

Net result: ~1,400 tokens removed from loaded context without loss of coverage.
All 7 substantive sections preserved: TL;DR, Immediate Delegation Triggers,
Context Sink Pattern, Delegate Tool Usage, Agent Domain Honoring,
Session Resumption, Large Session File Handling.
