Summary

Changes

  • AIRULES.md (応答の姿勢と判断): rewrite the 調査の深さはタスクに比例 bullet in place, adding that delegation prompts must carry the same depth cap as explicit cutoff conditions (target file count, item count), and that items answerable from already-loaded context (CLAUDE.md etc.) are checked directly instead of delegated

Background

Retrospective #274 recorded an Explore delegation with 5 items and no cutoff conditions for a lookup the parent later answered in about 3 commands from loaded context, costing the user 3 interventions over 8 minutes. The existing depth rule only governed the assistant's own investigation, so it is rewritten in place rather than adding a parallel rule, per the rule-editing conventions

Finding 1 of #274 (unverified "Explore defaults to Haiku" claim in subagent-model.md) was already resolved by #302, which dropped the parenthetical; only finding 2 remained

Issue: #274

Verification

The 調査の深さはタスクに比例 bullet only governed the assistant own
investigation; retrospective #274 found an over-scoped Explore
delegation (5 items, no cutoff conditions) for a lookup answerable
from already-loaded context in about 3 commands. Rewrite the bullet
in place so delegation prompts carry the same depth cap as explicit
cutoff conditions, and items answerable from loaded context are
checked directly instead of delegated.

Finding 1 of #274 (unverified Explore-defaults-to-Haiku claim in
subagent-model.md) was already resolved by #302.

Closes #274
