| Blue | Plan | Analysis, planning, architecture |
| Green | Create | Testing, creation, validation |
| Orange | Debug | Debugging, refactoring |
| Yellow | Clean | Optimization, cleanup |

Agent Behavior
Permission Denial Resilience
Subagents continue after permission denial rather than stopping entirely. When a subagent hits a permissions wall, it tries alternative approaches automatically. This makes autonomous workflows more resilient and reduces the need for human intervention.
Important
After creating or modifying agents, inform the user:
No restart needed. Agent changes take effect immediately - agents are hot-reloaded.
