Never Use TaskOutput
TaskOutput floods the main context window with agent transcripts (70k+ tokens).
Rule
NEVER use TaskOutput tool. Use Task tool with synchronous mode instead.
Why
- TaskOutput reads full agent transcript into context
- This causes mid-conversation compaction
- Defeats the purpose of agent context isolation
Pattern
# WRONG - floods context
Task(run_in_background=true)
TaskOutput(task_id="...") // 70k tokens dumped
# RIGHT - isolated context, returns summary
Task(run_in_background=false) // Agent runs, returns summary
Source
- Session where TaskOutput caused context overflow
