Give each agent one clear job
An agent with a focused objective picks better tools and stays on track. When you find yourself piling unrelated responsibilities into one agent, split it — spawn a sub-agent with a tight brief instead.
Objective: Triage new GitHub issues and label them.
Out of scope: writing fixes, closing issues, commenting.
★ Tip
A clear "out of scope" line is as valuable as the objective — it stops an eager agent from wandering into work you didn't ask for.
