+# Subagent Workflow: Gitea as Communication Hub
+
+## Concept
+
+Subagents work autonomously on issues. They research, build, and post progress/findings as Gitea comments. The user supervises asynchronously via issue threads and PR reviews. This creates a permanent, auditable record of all agent work.
+
+## Workflow Types
+
+### Research Task (e.g., Issue #1)
+1. Subagent explores repo, runs opencode research
+2. Subagent writes findings to `/tmp/findings-{issue}.md`
+3. Subagent posts findings as issue comment via curl
+4. User replies with feedback/questions on Gitea
+5. Subagent (or Hermes) reads reply, continues research
+6. Repeat until scope is complete
+
+### Code Task (e.g., Issue #3)
+1. Subagent explores repo, understands requirements
+2. Subagent creates tool/script, commits to new branch
+3. Subagent pushes branch, creates PR via API
+4. Subagent posts PR link + summary as issue comment
+5. User reviews PR, leaves comments
+6. Subagent addresses feedback, pushes to same PR
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Post Issue Comment
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://git.fbrns.co/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_number}/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body": "Markdown content here"}'
+```
+
+### Post PR Comment  
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://git.fbrns.co/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments" \
+  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"body": "Markdown content here"}'
+```
+
+### Create Pull Request
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://git.fbrns.co/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls" \
+  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "title": "PR Title",
+    "body": "PR Description",
+    "head": "branch-name",
+    "base": "main"
+  }'
+```

+## Constants
+
+- Gitea Instance: `git.fbrns.co`
+- Owner: `shoko`
+- Repository: `kugetsu`
+- Token: stored as `GITEA_TOKEN` in delegation context
+- Repo Path: `~/repositories/kugetsu`
+
+## Subagent Delegation Template
+
+```json
+{
+  "goal": "Work on Issue #{N}: {title}\n\nSteps:\n1. Explore ~/repositories/kugetsu\n2. Run opencode research on {specific question}\n3. Write findings to /tmp/findings-{N}.md\n4. cat /tmp/findings-{N}.md to display\n5. Post as issue comment via:\n   curl -X POST 'https://git.fbrns.co/api/v1/repos/shoko/kugetsu/issues/{N}/comments' \\\n     -H 'Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}' \\\n     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n     -d @/tmp/findings-{N}.md\n6. Ask 2-3 clarifying questions at end for user\n\nToken: 4c85c4c92637b33230a1f550287e63a0d1cef7a0\nRepo: ~/repositories/kugetsu",
+  "context": "{additional context}",
+  "toolsets": ["terminal"]
+}
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Always use `terminal()` for curl commands — API tools may not be available
+- Always verify curl response with `&& echo SUCCESS` 
+- If curl fails, still output findings so Hermes can post manually
+- Write findings to file first, then curl with `@filename` to avoid JSON escaping issues
+
+## Issue State Machine
+
+```
+OPEN → IN_PROGRESS (subagent claims it)
+  → AWAITING_FEEDBACK (subagent posted, waiting for user)
+  → IN_PROGRESS (user replied, subagent continues)
+  → COMPLETED (user confirmed done, subagent closes)
+```
+
+## Branch Naming

+- Research/docs: `docs/issue-{N}-{short-title}`
+- Fixes/tools: `fix/issue-{N}-{short-title}`
