/grilling sub agents can confuse the main agent

I received two rounds of questions back to back without any input from me giving a wall of text. Diagnosing the issue with the main agent came up with the following diagnosis: > Round 1 ended with "answer by number." The next thing that arrived wasn't your answers — it was a background agent finishing. I treated that as a cue to advance and posted "Round 2 — new frontier." Nothing of yours had settled, so the frontier hadn't actually moved. > There is one real ambiguity in SKILL.md: "wait for the user's answers before the next round" and "ask the rest of the frontier now" can collide, and the skill doesn't say what to call a fact-triggered batch. I resolved it by inventing a round number — the worst of the options. A "facts landed, here's what changed" note with no new questions would have been correct. - Harness: Claude code - Model: Opus 5 - Effort: High Thank you.
