Bug Description
Claud Code refuses to follow sub agent's directives to ask questions. I even got CC to create sub agent to would ask questions in planning... but when i used it, it genereated a plan withough asking any questions. Planning mode doesn't ask quetions either. Have a look at Cline's planning mode. It still kicks Claude Code code's butt. It asks questions. CC won't ask questions until I pull it up for not asking questions, then it's like oh yeah, "You're absilutely right!" and then ask questions. You really really really need to fix this. If Cline can do it, it's obviously not hard (no offence to them)

No, those three were about planning mode itself. This issue, although overlapping with planning mode, is with sub agents which should initiate conversation if instructed to, but aren't.
@chrishoward-projects , exactly, it seems you cannot interact/chat with sub agents .. and when they propose an action and you refuse, you are switched back to the main agent :(
I suggest to update topic issue title accordingly
I think they've fixed this as my sub agents are now prompting me with questions.
