A helper or subagent that drew a design, wrote the code or ran the research keeps what it learned. When new work changes its work, is related to it or touches the same code, send it there with a message (SendMessage, journal helper say) rather than dispatching a new one that has to rediscover everything; start fresh only when the earlier one is gone or the new work is unrelated. Reuse means its whole session, not its name: a helper whose agent ended is resumed in the session it ran, with its context, never started again under the same name.
