A subagent declares the skills it needs. `briefing` guarantees those skills are
in its context *before it thinks its first thought* — no "MANDATORY: load X

follows from two design decisions that are individually correct:

**Subagents start fresh.** A subagent gets its own context window — that is the
point of it. Whatever the main agent had read, the subagent has not.

**Skills load lazily.** Skills use progressive disclosure: what sits in the
context window is a *list* — each skill's name, description, and where to find
