Based on SOC occupation classification
Pick the right worker class for each Issue. Use every time you assign an Issue; wrong routing wastes tokens and creates rework.
Ship the smallest change that solves the Issue. Use on every implementation task; scope creep is the default failure mode of executors.
Run build/test/lint and read the actual output before claiming done. Use on every implementation task, at the end.
Start implementation with a red test. Use on any bugfix or new behavior — not on refactors or style changes.
Report research results in a form other agents can act on. Use at the end of every Explorer session.
Find files and code patterns fast. Use for every codebase question that starts with "where is X" or "how is Y used".

A good Issue is one worker can own end-to-end in one sitting without blocking on side decisions.
When any of these trip, split it.
Finish with ## Dispatch Summary listing each Issue's id, assigned worker, and its declared dependencies. The user should be able to read it and agree the breakdown is complete — no output that maps to the Goal is missing, no Issue has unclear scope.
