BUG: Description examples reference outdated "Task tool" invocation pattern #3

Description

@ali5ter

Description

The description frontmatter in agents/coach.md contains four <example> blocks. Each example shows the assistant explicitly saying it will "launch the pair-programmer agent via the Task tool":

assistant: "I'll use the Task tool to launch the pair-programmer agent since you've declared Level 2 assistance."

Two problems:

  1. Outdated invocation language — The current Claude Code subagent framework delegates naturally without the assistant narrating tool calls. Examples should model the actual delegation behaviour, not the old explicit Task-tool pattern.
  2. Wrong agent ID — Two of the four examples refer to the pair-programmer agent; one correctly uses pair-programmer:coach. The description should consistently use the canonical agent ID pair-programmer:coach.

Impact

Medium — incorrect examples in the description field can degrade auto-invocation accuracy since the description is used by the main Claude instance to decide when and how to delegate.

Proposed Fix

Rewrite the <example> blocks to reflect current delegation patterns (no explicit "Task tool" narration) and use the consistent agent ID pair-programmer:coach throughout.
