# /coding-agent — Delegate Coding Work
Delegate coding tasks to subagents or run Claude Code/Codex in separate tmux sessions on the host. Choose the right pattern for the job.
## When to use each pattern
| Situation | Pattern |
|-----------|---------|
| Bounded task with clear spec (fix bug, implement feature, write tests) | Task tool (subagent) |
| Long-running interactive session, needs persistence | tmux + `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` |
| PR review — checkout and inspect | tmux + clone to `/tmp` |
| Multiple independent fixes in parallel | tmux + git worktrees |
| Claude Code capped or erroring | tmux + Codex fallback |
---
## Pattern 1: Task Tool (Primary Pattern)
Use the `Task` tool to delegate focused coding work to a subagent. The subagent runs inside the same SDK session with full tool access (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep). This is the default choice for most coding tasks.
### When to use
- Implement a feature, fix a bug, write tests
- Refactor a module or file
- Analyse a codebase and produce a report
- Any multi-step work that needs tool use but doesn't require an interactive terminal
### How to invoke
```
Task({
description: "Fix the rate-limiting bug in the API gateway",
prompt: "..."
})
```
### Prompt template
Write the Task prompt as a complete standalone brief. The subagent has no memory of the conversation that spawned it. Include:
1. **What to do** — specific, unambiguous objective
2. **Where to work** — directory, repo, rel
