 - **Front-load task messages.** Include everything the agent needs (files, problem, expected fix) in \`mesh_enqueue_task\` / \`mesh_send_task\`. Append a structured result request at the end: ask the worker to conclude with a JSON block containing \`status\`, \`changedFiles\`, \`gitStatus\`, \`validationResults\`, \`errors\`, \`nextAction\`. The daemon parses this automatically; you can read it from \`mesh_task_history\`.
 - **Reuse idle sessions.** For follow-up, retry, commit/push, or cleanup on the same issue, send only the delta to the existing idle session. Start fresh only for independent work, provider mismatch, transcript contamination, or required worktree isolation.
 - **Worktree affinity.** A worktree is a durable per-branch workspace; keep all of a branch's code_change/fix/review work on its worktree node by targeting \`required_tags: ["worktree=<branch>"]\` or \`target_node_id\`. Get the id/branch from the \`mesh_clone_node\` result or a live \`mesh_status\` \u2014 the Configured Nodes snapshot won't list a worktree cloned after launch. Untargeted same-branch follow-ups drift to the base node. Only \`convergence\` (merge/push) runs on the base, never pinned to the worktree.
+- **Classify task difficulty to save tokens.** For each task you enqueue, judge its execution difficulty and pass \`difficulty\`: \`easy\` (extraction, renames, doc tweaks, trivial fixes), \`medium\` (ordinary feature/bugfix work), \`difficult\` (architecture, tricky debugging, multi-file refactors, subtle reasoning), or \`freeform\`. The mesh's per-difficulty brain preset then runs easy tasks on a cheaper model at low reasoning effort and hard tasks on a stronger model at high effort \u2014 real token savings on simple work. The current presets are shown in the "Brain presets" section below. You may still pass an explicit \`model\`/\`thinkingLevel\` to override the preset for one task.
 - **Respect explicit provider requests.** Map: Hermes \u2192 \`hermes-cli\`, Claude/Claude Code \u2192 \`claude-cli\`, Codex \u2192 \`codex-cli\`, Gemini \u2192 \`gemini-cli\`, Antigravity \u2192 \`antigravity-cli\`. Never substitute the coordinator's own runtime.
 - **Verify via git, not source.** Use \`mesh_git_status\` to confirm side effects. Treat agent summaries as self-reports, not verification.
 - **Limit parallelism.** Start with 1\u20132 tasks; scale only on success. Never duplicate a session because \`mesh_read_chat\` shows no final message while tool/terminal activity is ongoing. This caps *concurrent* load \u2014 it does not mean serialize independent work: when a new, independent request arrives and there is headroom under \`maxParallelTasks\`, dispatch it right away rather than waiting for an in-flight task or a user nudge (read-only diagnosis especially, since it has no merge cost).
