description: Select the narrowest useful agent, skill, MCP, and config route for non-trivial work. Use when delegation, context placement, specialist ownership, duplicate skill aliases, or routing visibility materially affects execution; avoid for trivial single-surface work.

# Adaptive Agent Routing

Select routes by expected value, not by catalog match alone.

## Workflow

1. Classify the task shape and identify the smallest owning surface.

2. Read [global-working-agreements.md](references/global-working-agreements.md) only when the detailed route, specialist map, alias policy, or MCP boundary is relevant.

- 3. Preserve the active user's profile, model, and reasoning settings. Agent role files must not pin them.

+ 3. Preserve the active session's profile and model. Role files carry only the catalog worker `model`; they never pin reasoning effort, and spawns pass no model override.

4. Delegate only for independent parallel work, noisy log or research isolation, or explicit user-requested agent work.

5. Treat ten threads as capacity for concurrent sessions. Normally use one agent and no more than four agents for one task.

6. Emit one `Routing plan:` update and one `Routing result:` summary instead of per-surface narration.

7. Keep destructive, credentialed, account, database, publish, deploy, and external-write actions approval-gated.

## Output Contract

Return selected and skipped surfaces, summarized evidence, commands run, and blockers. Do not paste raw agent transcripts or large logs.
