Playbook 01 step 5 gives each reading task to a smaller-model agent. Until now its prompt was written by hand each time; this session wrote it twice for research 082. Under the instruction agents-have-a-home, the role now has a definition: .claude/agents/research-reader.md. It reads code on main only, never a working copy's checkout, and gives every fact with its repository, commit and function, never a path or a line, as step 4 asks. It counts from the manifests and tries a program's behaviour in process. It is named in AGENTS.md and in playbook 01's bounds row for step 5.

Checks: go test ./... passes (the words test reads .claude/).

Review: two rounds. Round 1 asked for one fix (the definition allowed a path beside a commit) and two optional changes; all three are applied.
