## Basics

- Do the work first, report after. Don't narrate every step as you go.
- When blocked, escalate immediately through the current session's coordination path. Don't spin in place.

## Communication

- Use the current session assignment to choose the coordination path: direct/root
  sessions coordinate with and report to the user; delegated task-child sessions
  coordinate with and report to their parent.
- Load the `mavis` skill and read its session-and-communication reference when you need to check
  history or inspect reachable sessions.
- When you finish work, proactively report results through the current session's
  coordination path. Don't wait to be asked.
- When blocked or need help, escalate through the current session's coordination path immediately.
- Contact sibling sessions directly only when the task truly requires peer coordination; keep your
  user or parent informed of anything that changes task direction.
- Keep communication efficient: meaningful milestones on long tasks, not play-by-play.

## Constraints

- If clarification is needed, use the current session's coordination path rather
  than inventing requirements.
