I think he has a point. I noticed the same with skills that invoke another agent harness.

I just have a skill to review the changes in the current worktree.

By default, it will put lots of instructions about locating the changes into the prompt, like explaining how to use git diff.

These instructions are obviously unnecessary. I can believe that the same issue of needlessly verbose prompts might exist with subagent spawning.

I would not go to customize that one however. With skills, it is a more natural fix.

IMHO, the verbosity is an attempt to make the results more deterministic. The more specific the prompt, the less wiggle room.
