Is this task...
│
├─ Multi-file, independent units? ─► Parallel Orchestration
│ (see complex-orchestrator)
│
├─ Deep analysis / reasoning? ─────► Advanced General Purpose (Opus)
│ ⚠️ High cost - use sparingly
│
├─ Exploration / Research? ────────► Explore Agent
│
├─ Planning / Design? ─────────────► Plan Agent
│
├─ Simple & Direct? ───────────────► Execute Directly
│
└─ Unclear scope? ─────────────────► Decompose First
Quick Reference
| Signal | Agent | Trigger Phrases |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-file | Parallel (complex-orchestrator) | "all files", "across codebase", "every X" |
| Deep analysis | Advanced (Opus) | "thoroughly", "しっかり", "implications" |
| Find/Understand | Explore | "where is", "how does", "find all" |
| Design/Architect | Plan | "how should I", "design", "best approach" |
| Simple edit | Direct | "fix", "add field", "update text" |
3-Question Test
- Enough context? → No: Explore first
- Multiple approaches? → Yes: Plan first
- Touch 3+ unseen files? → Yes: Explore/Plan first
Parallel Execution
Launch in single message for parallel:
Task({ description: "A", ... })
Task({ description: "B", ... }) // runs parallel with A
For dependencies, use waves:
Wave 1: shared dependency
Wave 2: parallel consumers (after Wave 1)
For detailed examples and anti-patterns, see reference.md
