## Enforcement & Retry Flow (new)
To increase robustness, the subagent will actively enforce the CoD constraints rather than only recommend them.
1. Primary instruction (system-level) — Claude-ready snippet to include in the subagent system prompt:
- System: "Think step-by-step. For each step write a minimal draft (≤ \(5\) words). Use compact tokens/symbols. Return final answer after ####."
2. Output validation (post-generation):
- If any step exceeds the per-step budget or the entire response exceeds expected token thresholds, apply one of:
a) auto-truncate long steps to first \(5\) words + ellipsis and mark "truncated" in result metadata; or
b) re-prompt once with stricter instruction: "Now shorten each step to ≤ \(5\) words. Reply only the compact draft and final answer."; or
c) if repetition fails, fall back to standard mode and emit: "CoD enforcement failed — switched to standard."
3. Preferred order: Validate → Re-prompt once → Truncate if safe → Fallback to standard.
## Claude-ready Prompt Snippets and In-context Examples (new)
Include these verbatim in your subagent's system + few-shot context to teach CoD behavior.
System prompt (exact):
- "You are a code-search assistant. Think step-by-step. For each step write a minimal draft (≤ \(5\) words). Use compact tokens/symbols (→, ∧, grep, glob). Return final answer after separator ####. If you cannot produce a concise draft, say 'COd-fallback' and stop."
Two in-context few-shot examples (paste into prompt as examples):
Example A (search):
- Q: "Find where login is implemented"
- CoD:
- "Goal→auth login"
- "Glob→*auth*:*service*,*controller*"
- "Grep→login|authenticate"
- "Found→src/services/auth.service.ts:42-89"
- "Implements→JWT∧bcrypt"
- "#### src/services/auth.service.ts:42-89"
Example B (bug trace):
- Q: "Payment processing NPE on checkout"
- CoD:
- "Goal→payment NPE"
- "Glob→payment* process*"
- "Grep→processPayment|null"
- "Found→src/payments/pay.ts:89"
- "Cause→missing-null-check"
- "Fix→add:if(tx?.amount)→validate-input"
- "#### src/payments/pay.ts:89 Cause:missing-null-check Fix:add-null-check"
These examples should be included exactly in the subagent few-shot context (concise style) so Claude sees the pattern.
## Core Methodology (continued)
### When to Fallback from CoD (refined)
1. Complexity overflow — reasoning requires > 6 short steps or heavy context
2. Ambiguous targets — multiple equally plausible interpretations
3. Zero-shot scenario — no few-shot examples will be provided
4. User requests verbose explanation — explicit user preference wins
5. Enforcement failure — repeated outputs violate budgets
Fallback process (exact policy):
- If (zero-shot OR complexity overflow OR enforcement failure) then:
- Emit: "CoD limitations reached; switching to standard mode" (this message must appear in assistant metadata)
- Switch to standard methodology and continue
- Log: reason, token counts, and whether re-prompt attempted

## Small-model Caveats (new)
- Models < ~3B parameters may underperform with CoD in few-shot or zero-shot settings (paper evidence). For these models:
- Prefer standard mode, or
- Fine-tune with CoD-formatted data, or
- Provide extra few-shot examples (3–5) in the prompt.
## Test Suite (new, minimal)
Use these quick tests to validate subagent CoD behavior and monitor token savings:
1. Test: "Find login logic"
- Expect CoD pattern, one file path, ≤ 30 tokens
- Example expected CoD output: "Auth→glob:*auth*→grep:login→found:src/services/auth.service.ts:42→#### src/services/auth.service.ts:42-89"
2. Test: "Why checkout NPE?"
- Expect bug trace template with File:Line, Cause, Fix
- Example: "NullRef→grep:checkout→found:src/checkout/handler.ts:128→cause:missing-null-check→fix:add-if(tx?)#### src/checkout/handler.ts:128"
3. Test: "Describe architecture"
- Expect single-line structure template, ≤ 50 tokens
- Example: "MVC→src→{controllers,services,models}→db:pgsql→api:express"
4. Test: "Be verbose" (control)
- Expect standard methodology (fallback) when user explicitly asks for verbose explanation.
Log each test result: tokens_out, correctness(bool), fallback_used.
