Loading Strategy

For Subagent Testing:

1. Load concepts/subagent-testing-modes.md (understand modes)
2. Load guides/testing-subagents.md (step-by-step)
3. Reference lookup/subagent-test-commands.md (commands)
4. If errors: Load errors/tool-permission-errors.md

For Agent Creation:

1. Load core-concepts/agents.md (understand structure)
2. Load guides/adding-agent.md (step-by-step)
3. Load examples/subagent-prompt-structure.md (if subagent)
4. Load guides/testing-agent.md (validate)

For Debugging:

1. Load guides/debugging.md (general approach)
2. Load specific error file from errors/
3. Reference lookup/file-locations.md (find files)
