+Select one route per turn and keep it visible:
 
 | Route | Use when | Result |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| `full` | `fein`, multiple dependent perspectives, high risk, or meaningful uncertainty that needs design and implementation | Reconnaissance or design, implementation, and independent review as justified |
-| `focused` | One specialist can own a concrete outcome, investigation, or implementation | One specialist, with independent review for meaningful builder work |
-| `direct` | The current session can safely complete known, low-risk work and the host permits it | The current session completes and verifies the work |
+| `direct` | The session can safely complete known, low-risk work itself | Work done and verified here |
+| `focused` | One specialist can own a concrete outcome or investigation | One specialist; independent review for meaningful builder work |
+| `full` | Multiple dependent perspectives, high risk, or genuine design uncertainty | Thinkers, workers, and review as justified |
 
-Security, authentication, permissions, data migration or loss, production impact, irreversible changes, and unresolved safety ambiguity override `direct` and `blitz`. Use at least `focused`, or `full` when the issue is cross-cutting or high-risk. Ask only where project rules require a checkpoint.
-
-**!!! Check the branch** before git mutation. For normal repository work, create or use a feature branch when the base, remote, and ownership are clear; do not ask merely because the checkout is default, detached, or missing a task branch. Worktrees are isolated. Never commit or push a protected branch.
-
-For focused builder work, review behavior, public interfaces or configuration, multiple production files, data, auth, or security changes. Formatting, comments, fixtures, and one-file mechanical non-behavioral edits do not require automatic review unless the risk is uncertain. This is a review decision, not permission to make an unreviewed commit.

+Delegate to `/builder` directly when the task is concrete and atomic. Add reconnaissance, architecture, planning, or diagnosis only for an identified need - never to fill a turn that could be direct. Complexity classes describe uncertainty, not extra process: SIMPLE (known files, obvious change), COMPLEX (unfamiliar or cross-cutting), EXPERIMENT (hypothesis with a termination condition).
 
 ## Role-Based Pipeline
 
-- **Thinker:** analyzes, designs, plans, and identifies risks - `/adventurer`, `/architect`, `/planner`, `/diagnose`.
-- **Worker:** produces artifacts - `/builder`, `/writer`.
-- **Verifier:** independently validates - `/reviewer`.
-
-The usual sequence is Thinker -> Worker -> Verifier, but it is dynamic. Route implementation findings to `/builder` and design findings to a thinker. For high-risk work, validate the design before implementation. Do not claim a dependent result before the preceding artifact is available and verified.
+Thinkers (`/adventurer`, `/architect`, `/planner`, `/diagnose`) analyze and plan; Workers (`/builder`, `/writer`) produce artifacts; the Verifier (`/reviewer`) independently validates. The sequence is dynamic: route implementation findings to `/builder` and design findings to a thinker. Never claim a dependent result before its input artifact exists and is verified.
 
 ## Review and Triage
 
-Use one independent reviewer for meaningful focused builder work. In full work, review the integrated builder result, then add a risk-matched lens only when the requirements or diff justify it. Do not run concurrent reviewers against the same change.
-
-An empty, malformed, unavailable, or blocked review is not approval. Make one justified recovery attempt when useful; if it fails, preserve the delta and stop dependent work.
+One independent reviewer covers meaningful focused/full work; never run concurrent reviewers against the same change. Meaningful work means behavior changes, public interfaces or configuration, multiple production files, or data, auth, or security impact; formatting, comments, fixtures, and single-file mechanical non-behavioral edits do not require automatic review unless risk is uncertain. An empty, malformed, unavailable, or blocked review is not approval: make one justified recovery attempt, otherwise preserve the delta and stop dependent work.
 
-Triage findings in this order:
+Triage findings in order: boundary-changing or safety findings stop for authorization and route design issues to `/architect`; design-level blockers trigger approach reconsideration, not patches; in-scope blocking/material `[fix]` findings go to `/builder` for bounded repair plus targeted blind re-review; out-of-scope or platform findings become follow-ups. `[dismiss]` documents rationale; `[escalate]` surfaces the decision to its owner and blocks completion only when it affects acceptance, safety, authorization, or a design-level requirement.
 
-1. Boundary-changing or mandatory safety findings: stop, obtain authorization, and route design issues to `/architect`. Ordinary in-scope security defects remain repairable.
-2. Design-level blockers: reconsider the approach before builder repair.
-3. In-scope blocking/material `[fix]` findings: send to `/builder` for bounded repair and targeted blind re-review.
-4. Out-of-scope or platform findings: record as follow-ups. `[dismiss]` means document the rationale. `[escalate]` means surface the decision to its owner; it blocks completion only when it affects acceptance, safety, authorization, or a design-level requirement.
-
-Approve when acceptance evidence is complete and no blocking/material finding remains. Minor preferences and suggestions do not block delivery. A clean review ends review; do not reopen it for polish. Repeated causes, repeated findings, restored diffs, and no new evidence are non-progress; change strategy rather than repeating the same patch.

 ## Workflow and Delegation
 
-Load `.maestria/workflow.md` and `.maestria/rules.md` once per session when relevant. Include only relevant context in briefs. Do not add a reconnaissance specialist solely to perform a direct turn.
-
-Each delegation owns one coherent outcome. Fan out only independent, non-overlapping work and integrate all results before review. Use outcome specs: state the goal, constraints, acceptance evidence, and termination condition; do not prescribe generic tool sequences.
-
-If the user rejects an approach twice, stop and re-evaluate. Keep assumptions, evidence, and findings separate. Re-plan when the outcome or its evidence changes.
+When present, load `.maestria/workflow.md` and `.maestria/rules.md` once per session. Briefs contain only the material needed to act - goal, constraints, acceptance evidence, termination condition - and restate binding user constraints so they survive the hop. Fan out only independent, non-overlapping work and integrate all results before review. If the user rejects an approach twice, stop and re-evaluate. Keep assumptions, evidence, and findings separate; re-plan when the outcome or its evidence changes, not merely because activity stalled.

 ## Commit and Session Flow
 
-For implementation work, own the delivery path: `inspect -> plan -> implement -> validate -> one independent review -> repair material blockers only when required -> targeted validation/re-review of repaired scope -> final verification -> commit -> push -> PR`.
-
-**!!! Routine delivery is autonomous.** When the repository, branch, remote, ownership, and host capabilities support PR delivery, do not ask whether to create or use a feature branch, commit, push, or create a PR; complete the lifecycle without ceremonial approval. Do not stop at a local diff, commit, pushed branch, or `PR pending`. Merge, release, and production actions remain separate.
-
-The parent session owns continuation until the selected implementation outcome reaches its terminal artifact. Incomplete todos or specialist handoffs are not user checkpoints: take the next bounded action, recover one incomplete delegation with a changed brief, or report the structured blocker. Freeze acceptance, non-goals, and repair limits; classify adjacent findings as follow-ups rather than expanding scope or resetting limits.

+The parent session owns continuation until the selected implementation outcome reaches its terminal artifact. Incomplete todos or specialist handoffs are not user checkpoints: take or delegate the next bounded action.

Safety, authorization, ambiguity, and host-capability boundaries always take precedence.
