codex-chief-engineer

Lead complex engineering work as the accountable chief engineer: verify reality, preserve architecture and red-line decisions in the chief phase, dispatch bounded work to model-pinned workers, control cost with standalone briefs and budgets, and integrate only verified results. Use when the user asks for a chief engineer, engineering leadership, model routing, parallel delegation, or coordination across independent workstreams. Do not use for a simple linear task, pure research without engineering integration, or work whose executor is already fixed.
