-Subagent tool and delegate orchestration for pi — isolated agents, parallel scouts, planning gates, and workflow presets.
+Subagent tool and direct agent runs for pi — isolated agents, parallel scouts, manager workflows, and bundled agents.
 
 ## Install
 
@@ -18,96 +18,104 @@ The `subagent` tool supports three modes:
 | Parallel | `{ tasks: [...] }` — multiple agents concurrently |
 | Chain | `{ chain: [...] }` — sequential with `{previous}` placeholder |
 
+Optional overrides:
+- `model` — override the agent's default model for one run, or set a default for all tasks/steps in a call
+- `thinking` — override the agent's default reasoning level for one run, or set a default for all tasks/steps in a call
+
+Notes:
+- `/run-agent` provides autocomplete for `--model` and `--thinking`
+- the `subagent` tool supports the same fields in its schema, but this package does not currently add custom interactive autocomplete for tool-call JSON parameters
+
+## Opinionated Defaults
+
+This package is intentionally opinionated about orchestration:
+
+- Use **parallel mode for discovery, not competing edits**.
+- Prefer **one worker** and surround it with scouts, planners, and reviewers.
+- Use **chain mode** when work needs ordered handoffs.
+- Treat `reviewer` as a **verifier with fresh context**, not as a second writer.
+- Use `advisor` for **targeted second opinions** on tricky or high-risk cases, not as a default extra hop.
+- Only split implementation across multiple workers when file ownership is clearly partitioned.
+
+A good default mental model is: **parallel readers, single writer**.
+
+See [`docs/orchestration-principles.md`](./docs/orchestration-principles.md) for the fuller guidance.
+
 ## Recommended Usage
 
 In day-to-day use, the main agent should usually call the `subagent` tool from normal conversation.
 
-Examples:
+Safe defaults:
 - "spawn a scout for the auth code"
 - "run scout and docs-scout in parallel"
 - "have planner make a plan, then worker implement it"
 - "send this to reviewer"
+- "ask advisor whether this migration should be split before sending it to worker"
+- "use manager for this cross-package migration"
 
 For direct user-invoked single-agent runs, use:
 
 ```text
 /run-agent worker implement the auth flow we discussed
+/run-agent --model anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 --thinking high reviewer review the latest diff
 ```
 
-`/delegate` is optional. It exists for rigid gated workflows, plan approval, and explicit workflow control.
-
-## Optional Delegate Command
-
-After a design/grill session, or when you explicitly want a guided workflow:
-
-```
-/delegate
-```
-
-Or with an explicit task:
-
-```
-/delegate implement the auth flow we designed
-```
+Autocomplete notes:
+- `/run-agent --model` suggests available configured models plus models referenced by discovered agents
+- `/run-agent --thinking` suggests supported reasoning levels such as `off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, and `xhigh`
 
-Use project-local repo agents:
-
-```
-/delegate --scope project implement the subagent refactor
-```
+For reusable multi-step workflows, prefer the main agent calling the `subagent` tool directly in `single` / `parallel` / `chain` mode rather than relying on canned slash workflows.
 
-Pin a workflow and skip the project-agent confirmation prompt:
+Examples:
 
-```
-/delegate --scope project --workflow implement --yes-project-agents improve delegate execution
+```text
+spawn scout and docs-scout in parallel for auth session refresh
+have worker implement the questionnaire validation fix
+send this diff to reviewer, and if a claim needs proof use validator or bug-prover
+ask advisor whether this migration should be split before implementation
+use manager for this cross-package migration
 ```
 
-### How it works
+Recommended pattern in practice:
+- `parallel`: `scout` + `docs-scout` for repo and docs recon
+- `chain`: `scout` → `planner` → `worker` for coherent implementation
+- `chain`: `worker` → `reviewer`, then optionally `validator` / `bug-prover`, then `worker` for a prove-before-fix loop
+- `single`: `advisor` for a focused second opinion on a hard decision, failing test loop, or high-risk change
+- `single`: `manager` for multi-slice work that needs bounded delegation and synthesis
 
-1. **Synthesize** — extracts goal, decisions, constraints, architecture, intent from conversation
-2. **Confirm** — shows synthesis for approval
-3. **Pick workflow** — suggests one, you confirm or override
-4. **Execute** — runs phases sequentially with parallel scouts
-5. **Plan gate** — shows planner output for approval before worker runs
-6. **Summary** — full phase-by-phase report with usage totals
+`advisor` and `manager` are higher-level entry points built on the same `single` / `parallel` / `chain` primitives. `advisor` is for capability routing and second opinions; `manager` is for coherent delegation, not arbitrary peer-to-peer swarms. `validator` and `bug-prover` support evidence-driven review: validate a claim first, then build the smallest repro only when needed.
 
 ## Direct Agent Runs
 
 Run one agent directly from the current session:
 
 ```text
-/run-agent [--scope user|project|both] [--yes-project-agents] <agent> [task]
+/run-agent [--scope user|project|both] [--model <id>] [--thinking <level>] [--yes-project-agents] <agent> [task]
 ```
 
 Examples:
 
 ```text
 /run-agent scout trace how auth state is loaded
+/run-agent validator validate whether this suspected regression is real
+/run-agent bug-prover create a minimal failing repro for the auth refresh bug
+/run-agent advisor sanity-check whether this migration should be split
+/run-agent manager coordinate a multi-package migration plan
 /run-agent worker implement the refactor we just planned
 /run-agent --scope project reviewer review the latest changes
 ```
 
 If the chosen agent frontmatter sets `sessionStrategy: fork-at`, the command clones the current active path into a new session before running the agent. That keeps long implementation runs isolated in their own branch while preserving the original conversation.
