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.

After failed candidates or a red ship gate, spawn a narrow focused delegate_task wave with failure evidence instead of re-running a full-width council.

Route every user request to read-only exploration, single-agent work, full Composer swarm, or GitHub issue flow before spending tokens or spawning leaves.

Honor explicit single-agent opt-out from council hooks-solo coordinator implementation with the same evidence bar as swarm mode.

After team plan injection, dispatch one full-width delegate_task batch immediately, notify the user how to watch the swarm, and avoid wasted coordinator turns before synthesis.

Use after delegate_task leaves finish. Blind-compare candidate evidence, merge one coherent implementation, and avoid Frankenstein patches before verification.

Default Composer swarm workflow for Heavy Coder (route, enrich, dispatch, critique, synthesis, verification).

Use before telling the user a coding task is done or opening a PR. Run project verification commands, cite real exit codes, and block completion on missing evidence.

Coordinate Heavy Coder issue-to-PR and future fail-closed issue-to-merge workflows. Current phase provides contracts, dry-run scripts, and safety gates only.
