Model Delegation
Initiate the orchestrator-worker cost model for this session. The main-loop model (expensive, metered) orchestrates, specs, verifies, and validates only; ALL drafting and mechanical work (code, docs, tests, sweeps, research) runs in Opus 4.8 subagents billed to plan allowance. Invoke at session start or whenever token cost matters.

From the SKILL.md
# Model delegation (orchestrator thinks, workers write) Purpose: when the main-loop model bills to metered usage credits and subagent models bill to a subscription plan, the expensive model must never do the writing. Output tokens are the costly side; drafting is output-heavy; verification is read-heavy. So the orchestrator reads and decides, the workers write. On invocation, adopt this operating mode for the rest of the session. ## Model policy | model | role | billing | |---|---|---| | main loop (e.g. Fable 5) | decompose, spec, review, validate, decide, talk to the user | metered credits, minimize output | | opus-4.8 subagents | write code/docs/tests, mechanical sweeps, research, exploration | plan allowance | | sonnet / haiku | never, regardless of task size | - | These are defaults with one standing override: if a worker's output does not meet the bar after one revision round, the orchestrator redoes that piece itself. Judge the output, not the price tag; escalating costs less than shipping mediocre work. ## Mechanics - Spawn workers via the Agent tool with `model: "opus"`. Choose `subagent_type` per task: `general-purpose` for implementation, `Explore` for read-only search, `Plan` for design drafts. - Independent tasks launch in ONE message so they run in parallel. - Workers mutating files in parallel get `isolation: "worktree"`. - Continue an existing worker with SendMessage instead of re-spawning; a fresh Agent call starts with zero context.
