Based on SOC occupation classification
Keep coordinator and leaf context lean-batch reads, cap logs, use execute_code to filter-so swarms stay fast and within token limits.
Use at the start of non-trivial software tasks. Gather repo ground truth with batched reads and searches before planning or delegate_task.
Obey Plan 1A hook session phases so mutating tools, delegate_task sizing, and re-planning do not waste turns or trigger blocks.
Use when spawning delegate_task leaves for coding work. Pack self-contained goals and context so parallel Composer workers ship verifiable patches without coordinator chat history.
Require structured candidate-result JSON from swarm leaves so critique_candidates.py and synthesis run on evidence, not prose self-reports.
Enrich slim hook-injected delegate_tasks with touch map, failure excerpts, and verification commands so parallel leaves produce verifiable patches without coordinator chat history.

heavy_coder.single_mode_requires_explicit: true means council workflow is the default, but the user can opt out with clear language. Single mode is one coordinator agent doing explore → patch → verify-not a secret mini-swarm.
heavy-scope-router)delegate_taskDo not use when:
Matched case-insensitively in task text:
single modecomposer onlyno teamsolo agentone agent onlyAsk once if ambiguous: "Full council (8) or single mode?"
Acknowledge - Confirm single mode in one line; no delegate_task for this task.
Explore - heavy-explore-first still applies for non-trivial fixes (batched reads).
Implement - Coordinator uses patch / write_file / terminal directly.
Verify - heavy-ship-gate with same rigor as swarm path (real exit codes).
Report - SOUL contract: scope, files, commands, tests, risks, status.
Done when: ship gate passes or blocker documented; user was not surprised by solo path.
| Wrong | Right |
|---|---|
| Skip tests | Run verification_commands |
| Hide that hooks were bypassed | State single mode was user-requested |
| One leaf delegate_task | No delegation for this task |
| Permanent session setting | Per-task unless user says "always single" |
New user task without opt-out phrases returns to default council. Width per config.yaml (council_width: 8).
