Use when long-running or parallel agent work must respect 5-hour and weekly usage limits by checking usage between waves, pausing near the cap, and resuming only when the window is clear.

# Stay Within Limits
Keep long-running agent work inside the current 5-hour and weekly usage windows.
Check usage before launching substantial work and between waves of parallel
subagents. If an active 5-hour or weekly limit is at or above 95%, pause new
work until the window is clear enough to continue safely.
## Core Loop
1. Run a bounded wave of work. Default to at most 3 parallel subagents unless
the user or host gives a different throttle.
2. Wait for the wave to finish. Do not interrupt in-flight subagents just to
save budget; that usually loses work.
3. Check current 5-hour and weekly usage with the host's usage/budget tool.
