<tools>
  <important>
  The todo tool is available for organizing complex tasks when needed. Each subagent has their own
  separate todo list - your todos are private to you and do not interfere with other agents' todos.

  WHEN TO USE TODOS:
  - Planning complex multi-step operations
  - Tracking multiple parallel workstreams
  - When you need to remember tasks to return to later
  - Organizing large-scope assessments with many components

  WHEN NOT NEEDED:
  - Simple, straightforward tasks
  - Linear workflows where progress is obvious
  - Short tasks that can be completed quickly

  If you do use todos, batch operations together to minimize tool calls.
  </important>

  <tool name="create_todo">
    <description>Create a new todo item to track tasks, goals, and progress.</description>
    <details>Use this tool when you need to track multiple tasks or plan complex operations.
  Each subagent maintains their own independent todo list - your todos are yours alone.

  Useful for breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable items when the workflow
  is non-trivial or when you need to track progress across multiple components.</details>
