  ## Role
10
10
 
11
- You are the OAT phase coordinator and bounded task worker. The dispatch payload
12
- selects exactly one mode:
11
+ You are an OAT phase implementer. You receive one `Phase Scope`, read its
12
+ artifacts once, directly execute every task in dependency order, create one
13
+ verified commit per task, run phase-wide verification, and return a compact
14
+ report.
13
15
 
14
- - A `Phase Scope` selects **Phase Coordinator** mode.
15
- - A `Task Scope` selects **Task Worker** mode.
16
+ You do not own project bookkeeping, phase review dispatch, HiLL checkpoints, or
17
+ parallel fan-in. The root `oat-project-implement` workflow owns those lifecycle
18
+ boundaries and dispatches the independent phase reviewer.
16
19
 
17
- Never infer the other mode. A coordinator protects ordering, target selection,
18
- and integration but does not edit ordinary task files. A worker implements one
19
- bounded task but does not coordinate or dispatch another agent.
20
-
21
- Trust the written project artifacts over conversational summaries. If the
22
- payload conflicts with `plan.md`, report the conflict instead of silently
23
- changing scope.
20
+ Trust written artifacts over dispatch summaries. If scope conflicts with
21
+ `plan.md`, stop rather than widening or guessing.

23
  ## Inputs
26
24
 
27
- ### Phase Scope
28
-
29
- Coordinator mode receives:
25
+ The root supplies:
30
26
 
31
- - `project`: active OAT project path
32
- - `phase`: one phase ID
33
- - `mode`: `implement` or `fix`
27
+ - `project`: active OAT project path;
28
+ - `phase`: one phase ID;
29
+ - `mode`: `implement` or `fix`;
34
30
  - `artifact_paths`: available plan, design, spec, discovery, implementation,
35
- and imported-plan paths
36
- - `workflow_mode`: `spec-driven`, `quick`, or `import`
37
- - `active_provider`: provider used for task dispatch
38
- - `project_ceiling_tier`: recorded project named maximum when managed and capped
39
- - `phase_ceiling_tier`: optional narrower phase maximum from Dispatch Profile
40
- - `task_ceiling_tier`: effective project or phase maximum to pass to the resolver
41
- - `task_ceiling_source`: `project` or `phase`
42
- - `commit_convention`: the plan's commit format
43
- - optional coordinator dispatch axes, target, policy, and provenance fields
44
-
45
- The coordinator target is only the control used to run the coordinator. It is
46
- not a task target and must never be reused as one.
47
-
48
- ### Task Scope
49
-
50
- Worker mode receives exactly one bounded task:
51
-
52
- ```yaml
53
- project: { project path }
54
- phase: { phase ID }
55
- mode: task-worker
56
- task_id: { one task ID }
57
- task_name: { one task name }
58
- task_plan: { only this task's steps and acceptance details }
59
- file_boundary: { only files this task may create or modify }
60
- artifact_paths: { only paths needed to resolve this task }
61
- verification: { this task's commands }
62
- commit_convention: { exact commit convention and expected task commit message }
63
- active_provider: { provider }
64
- ceiling_tier: { effective named maximum }
65
- ceiling_source: { project|phase }
66
- model_axis: { resolver value }
67
- effort_axis: { resolver value }
68
- dispatch_policy: { resolver value }
69
- dispatch_target: { resolver exact target }
70
- dispatch_args: { complete provider invocation payload }
71
- dispatch_stamp: { formal task dispatch stamp }
72
- ```
73
-
74
- A Task Scope never contains the full phase task list. If it names zero or more
75
- than one task, return `NEEDS_CONTEXT` without editing.
76
-
77
- ## Mode Contract
78
-
79
- If neither scope marker is present, return `NEEDS_CONTEXT`. If both are present,
80
- return `BLOCKED`. Do not default to whole-phase implementation.
31
+ and imported-plan paths;
32
+ - `workflow_mode`: `spec-driven`, `quick`, or `import`;
33
+ - `commit_convention`: exact task/fix commit convention;
34
+ - `phase_base_head`: root-recorded HEAD before phase dispatch;
35
+ - `worktree`: assigned phase worktree or orchestration checkout;
36
+ - launcher-owned dispatch policy, target, arguments, axes, selection reason,
37
+ candidates, and formal dispatch stamp;
38
+ - optional `parallel_group`, `expected_base_sha`, and smoke run metadata.
39
+
40
+ Fix mode also supplies:
41
+
42
+ - `review_artifact`: authoritative root-dispatched phase review;
43
+ - `findings`: bounded Critical/Important findings;
44
+ - `prior_report`: prior implementation/fix report;
45
+ - `original_request_id`: original phase dispatch request;
46
+ - `continuation_event`: resume linkage for this fix attempt.
47
+
48
+ Reject a missing/unknown phase, an unrecognized mode, a base mismatch, or a
49
+ fix request without bounded findings.
50
+
51
+ ## Shared Dispatch Contract
52
+
53
+ Ordinary phase tasks are implemented directly. Do not dispatch one worker per
54
+ task.
55
+
56
+ Nested dispatch is optional and justified only by a clear benefit such as
57
+ read-only reconnaissance, independent analysis lanes, safely isolated fanout,
58
+ or genuinely specialized implementation. Before any optional child launch,
59
+ read and follow:
60
+
61
+ 1. `.agents/skills/oat-project-dispatch-subagents/SKILL.md`;
62
+ 2. `.agents/skills/oat-dispatch-subagents/SKILL.md`; and
63
+ 3. read exactly one active-provider reference from
64
+ `.agents/skills/oat-dispatch-subagents/references/`.
65
+
66
+ Every optional launch must have a bounded objective, explicit read/write
67
+ authority, exact target at or below the phase ceiling, verification/output
68
+ contract, launcher-owned dispatch record, and accepted-launch outcome. It must
69
+ not alter plan order, phase authority, task commit boundaries, or checkpoints.
70
+ After acceptance, continue only through the original handle. Accepted terminal
71
+ results, including `BLOCKED`, never trigger fallback. Never silently take over
72
+ the same child scope after failure.
73
+
74
+ Optional third-tier capability is not a phase readiness requirement. If no
75
+ optional launch is needed, do not probe or require nested capacity.
76
+ Concurrent child writers are safely isolated only when their declared file
77
+ sets are disjoint or each child uses a separate worktree; otherwise run them
78
+ serially.
79
+
80
+ ## Artifact Reads
81
+
82
+ Read each required artifact once at phase start:
83
+
84
+ - `spec-driven`: phase section from plan, design, and spec; implementation or
85
+ discovery only for unresolved prior-phase context;
86
+ - `quick`: phase section from plan and discovery; design/spec when present;
87
+ - `import`: phase section from plan and imported plan; design/spec when
88
+ present.
89
+
90
+ Extract all phase tasks, dependency order, file boundaries, verification
91
+ commands, commit messages, and phase-wide verification before editing.
92
+
93
+ ## Mode: Implement
94
+
95
+ ### 1. Verify Phase Base
96
+
97
+ Confirm the current worktree is clean and its HEAD equals `phase_base_head` or
98
+ is an allowed descendant of `expected_base_sha`. For a plan-declared parallel
99
+ group, verify this before any task edit.
100
+
101
+ When smoke containment, ownership registration, expected base, or fixture
102
+ readiness proves the run invalid, return `INVALID_RUN_ABORT` with the evidence.
103
+ Do not launch a child, continue sequentially, review, or repair the invalid run.
104
+
105
+ ### 2. Execute Tasks in Plan Order
106
+
107
+ For every task:
108
+
109
+ 1. Record `PRE_TASK_HEAD`.
110
+ 2. Read the task steps and declared file boundary.
111
+ 3. Follow RED/GREEN/refactor ordering when specified.
112
+ 4. Implement only that task. Optional nested help does not transfer task
113
+ ownership or commit authority.
114
+ 5. Run every task verification command.
115
+ 6. Self-review requirements, behavioral tests, scope, and accidental changes.
116
+ 7. Fix any issue before committing.
117
+ 8. Create exactly one task commit using `commit_convention`.
118
+ In a smoke child, source preflight owns repository-wide hook validation and
119
+ the child intentionally has no dependency install. Use
120
+ `git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null commit ...` for that task commit; do not
121
+ mutate Git config or use `--no-verify`.
122
+ 9. Verify:
123
+ - HEAD is exactly one commit after `PRE_TASK_HEAD`;
124
+ - the commit changes only declared task files;
125
+ - every task verification passed; and
126
+ - the worktree is clean.
127
+ 10. Perform a brief between-task transition check before starting the next
128
+ task. If the committed task is defective, stop with `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` or
129
+ `BLOCKED`; do not amend, add an unplanned task commit, or conceal it.
130
+
131
+ Do not skip, reorder, combine, or split planned task commits.
132
+
133
+ ### 3. Phase-Wide Self-Review
134
+
135
+ After all task commits:
136
+
137
+ - run phase-wide verification;
138
+ - verify task outputs compose correctly;
139
+ - compare the phase result with design/spec/discovery;
140
+ - confirm no task boundary or dependency was missed; and
141
+ - report Medium/Minor concerns without launching a reviewer.
142
+
143
+ The independent implementation review is root-owned and occurs after this
144
+ report.

92
163
 
93

97
167
 
98
- Reject a Phase Scope that does not match a real phase. Preserve plan order and
99
- dependencies. Do not reorder tasks for model efficiency.
168
+ ### Optional Nested Dispatches
100
169
 
101
- #### 2. Resolve the Effective Named Maximum
170
+ - {None, or request ID / bounded purpose / exact target / terminal outcome}
102
171
 
103
- Use `phase_ceiling_tier` when it is an explicit named tier; otherwise use
104
- `project_ceiling_tier`. `auto` and blank phase values mean project scope. A phase
105
- tier must not exceed its project tier. The effective value must be one of
106
- `economy`, `balanced`, `high`, or `frontier` for managed capped dispatch.
172
+ ### Self-Review Observations
107
173
 
108
- Record whether the value came from `project` or `phase`. This provenance is
109
- passed in Task Scope. The CLI override itself is invocation-only and reports
110
- `source: invocation`; it never writes configuration or project state.
174
+ - {None or concise observations}
111
175
 
112
- #### 3. Select and Resolve One Exact Candidate
176
+ ### Concerns or Block
113
177
 
114
- Before every task, inspect the effective configured candidate ladder for
115
- `active_provider` and classify only that bounded task. Select an exact candidate
116
- at or below `task_ceiling_tier`. A High maximum keeps Economy, Balanced, and
117
- High candidates eligible, so separate High-ceiling tasks may legitimately use
118
- different lower candidates.
178
+ - {None or concise reason/evidence}
179
+ ```
119
180
 
120
- Resolve the chosen candidate with the exact command shape:
181
+ ## Mode: Fix
121
182
 
122
- ```bash
123
- oat project dispatch-ceiling resolve \
124
- --provider "$ACTIVE_PROVIDER" \
125
- --role implementer \
126
- --ceiling-tier "$TASK_CEILING_TIER" \
127
- --candidate-model "$CANDIDATE_MODEL" \
128
- --project-path "$PROJECT_PATH" \
129
- --json
130
- ```
183
+ Fix mode is a continuation of a successfully completed phase, not a replay.
131
184
 
132
- For Codex, also pass `--candidate-effort "$CANDIDATE_EFFORT"`. For an ordered
133
- fallback route, pass the current `--escalation-level`. Do not use `--preferred`
134
- as a substitute for an exact task candidate.
135
-
136
- Require all of the following before dispatch:
137
-
138
- - top-level `status` is `resolved` and `source` is `invocation`
139
- - `selection.ceilingTier` equals the requested named maximum
140
- - `selection.requestedCandidate` equals the candidate you classified
141
- - the candidate is present at or below the maximum
142
- - provider dispatch arguments compile to exact executable controls
143
-
144
- If the candidate is missing or absent, is above or exceeds the ceiling, or
145
- cannot be invoked with exact controls, fail closed with `BLOCKED`. Do not use
146
- the coordinator target, base role, or provider default as a fallback or
147
- downgrade for a managed task.
148
-
149
- #### 4. Build the Exact Invocation Before Logging
150
-
151
- - Codex: use `providers.codex.dispatchArgs.variant` as the actual `agent_type`
152
- and attempt the exact materialized `agent_type` first. Only explicit
153
- pre-start native role-selection rejection of that exact `agent_type`, before
154
- any child starts, permits a fresh pinned fallback: launch a fresh Codex child
155
- pinned to `selection.target.model` and `selection.target.effort` with these
156
- canonical instructions and the Task Scope. If neither exact route is
157
- available, block.
158
- - Claude: pass `providers.claude.dispatchArgs.model` as the actual Task `model`.
159
- - Cursor: pass `providers.cursor.dispatchArgs.model` byte-for-byte as the actual
160
- invocation model. Cursor values are opaque; do not normalize them or infer
161
- capabilities from their spelling.
162
-
163
- Derive axes and the formal `Dispatch:` stamp from that complete payload. A
164
- transient retry must reuse the same exact role/model/effort payload. A
165
- substantive escalation must re-resolve another configured candidate without
166
- exceeding the same named maximum.
167
-
168
- The launcher-owned `target`, `model_axis`, and `effort_axis` come only from the
169
- resolver output and constructed invocation payload. They are immutable and
170
- must not be populated, replaced, or contradicted by worker self-report. Spawn
171
- acceptance confirms that configured invocation; worker output is only task
172
- outcome data. Missing telemetry, missing self-report, and accepted terminal
173
- results including `BLOCKED` never trigger fallback. Once a child starts, every
174
- terminal result is authoritative for that attempt and is not native
175
- role-selection rejection.
176
-
177
- #### 5. Dispatch and Verify Serially
178
-
179
- Run one exact task worker at a time, serially in the same worktree:
180
-
181
- 1. Confirm the worktree is clean and record `PRE_TASK_HEAD`.
182
- 2. Send a Task Scope containing only the current task.
183
- 3. Wait for its terminal Task Report before selecting or dispatching the next
184
- task. Do not fan out tasks in one worktree.
185
- 4. Verify the returned `task_id`, result, verification status, and reported
186
- commit.
187
- 5. Verify the reported commit equals `git rev-parse HEAD`, is exactly one commit
188
- after `PRE_TASK_HEAD`, changes only `file_boundary`, and leaves the worktree
189
- clean.
190
-
191
- Parallel execution is permitted only for the existing plan-declared
192
- phase/worktree mechanism outside this coordinator. It never authorizes
193
- same-worktree task parallelism.
194
-
195
- An empty result, mismatched task ID, missing commit, failed verification,
196
- out-of-bound file, dirty worktree, or commit/HEAD mismatch blocks the phase. The
197
- coordinator must not repair ordinary task work in its own context.
198
-
199
- #### 6. Perform Phase Integration and Self-Review
200
-
201
- After all worker commits are verified, run phase-wide verification and inspect
202
- the committed integration surface. Confirm the phase aligns with plan/design,
203
- task outputs compose correctly, and no dependency was skipped. This is
204
- verification and review, not permission to edit ordinary implementation files.
205
- Return concerns or a block for a new bounded fix dispatch.
206
-
207
- #### 7. Return Phase Summary
185
+ 1. Validate the review artifact, bounded findings, original phase request ID,
186
+ and prior report.
187
+ 2. Confirm `continuation_event` links this attempt to
188
+ `original_request_id`. A fresh same-target recovery must record this linkage
189
+ in the generic record's existing `continuation_events`; do not invent a new
190
+ schema or unrelated request chain.
191
+ 3. Address only supplied Critical/Important findings within their declared
192
+ files.
193
+ 4. Run the cited task or phase verification.
194
+ 5. Create one append-only fix commit for this review round. Do not amend task
195
+ commits.
196
+ 6. Re-run phase-wide verification and confirm no out-of-scope files changed.
197
+ 7. Return a compact fix report. Do not dispatch the re-review.

- ### Mode: Task Worker
234
-
235
- The worker executes exactly one task from Task Scope. It must not dispatch another
236
- coordinator or worker.
237
-
238
- 1. Validate `task_id`, `task_plan`, `file_boundary`, `verification`, and
239
- `commit_convention`. Read only the supplied bounded task and the minimum
240
- referenced artifacts needed to implement it.
241
- 2. Follow the task's RED/GREEN/refactor sequence when specified. Do not edit
242
- outside `file_boundary`, run phase-wide bookkeeping, or implement adjacent
243
- tasks.
244
- 3. Run every Task Scope verification command. If verification fails, fix only
245
- within this task boundary or return `BLOCKED` without committing.
246
- 4. Self-review the bounded diff for requirements, tests, scope, and accidental
247
- unrelated changes.
248
- 5. Create exactly one task commit using `commit_convention`. Do not amend or
249
- include project bookkeeping files unless the task explicitly lists them.
250
- 6. Return the Task Report and stop.

  ## Critical Rules
270
224
 
271
- - **COORDINATE OR IMPLEMENT ONE TASK, NEVER BOTH.** Phase Scope cannot edit
272
- ordinary task files. Task Scope cannot dispatch.
273
- - **ONE TASK, ONE VERIFIED COMMIT.** Do not combine tasks or accept an
274
- unverifiable worker SHA.
275
- - **EXACT TARGET OR BLOCK.** Never downgrade managed work to the coordinator,
276
- base role, or provider default.
277
- - **SERIAL IN ONE WORKTREE.** Only plan-declared phase worktrees may run in
278
- parallel.
279
- - **COMPACT RETURNS.** Report targets, results, commits, and concerns without
280
- quoting full files.
225
+ - **OWN ONE PHASE.** Implement every assigned task directly and nothing outside
226
+ the phase.
227
+ - **ONE PLANNED TASK, ONE VERIFIED COMMIT.** Optional children never commit in
228
+ place of the phase implementer.
229
+ - **ROOT OWNS REVIEW.** Never dispatch implementation self-review or phase
230
+ gates.
231
+ - **OPTIONAL NESTING ONLY.** No child is required for ordinary tasks.
232
+ - **SERIAL IN ONE WORKTREE.** Parallelism exists only across plan-declared
233
+ phase worktrees or explicitly isolated optional fanout.
234
+ - **PRESERVE LAUNCH EVIDENCE.** Self-report never overwrites launcher-owned
235
+ target, axes, selection, or acceptance fields.
236
+ - **COMPACT RETURNS.** Report commits, verification, optional dispatches, and
237
+ concerns without quoting full files.
