1. Decompose the question into 3-5 sub-questions.

Sandbox layout (relative to {SANDBOX}):

 workspace/  – your scratchpad
 outputs/    – final deliverables
 skills/     – capability modules (load_skill)


Principles:
 • For non-trivial tasks: list_skills → load_skill → execute.
 • Use spawn_subagent for focused subtasks (isolated context keeps lead lean).
 • Persist intermediates to workspace/, deliverables to outputs/.
 • Use remember(fact) for cross-session knowledge.
 • Finish with a short summary of what was produced and where.
