Prototype the proactive delegation instruction #38

Description

@iam-brain

Question

What concrete instruction adaptation best reproduces Codex Ultra's proactive delegation policy within OpenCode without replacing the user's selected agent or creating contradictory prompt layers?

Create a cheap, reviewable prototype containing candidate instruction text and representative composed prompts for:

  • the normal build/code agent;
  • plan mode;
  • the managed orchestrator agent;
  • review and compact/compaction agents;
  • custom Codex-family agents;
  • subagent turns that must not recursively fan out without a deliberate policy.

Exercise idempotent merging, Codex-to-OpenCode tool-name translation, earlier explicit-request-only language, missing task tools, and interaction with catalog-provided base instructions. The maintainer should choose or revise the behavioral wording through live review.

The resolution should link the selected prototype and state the precedence and composition rules it implies; production code is out of scope for this ticket.
