+ # Subagent Orchestration
10
+
11
+ Route work to subagents and models by task class and capability requirements,
12
+ not by model name. This skill carries the durable selection contract; its
13
+ provider references carry dated model examples that are subordinate to live
14
+ catalogs and current user or repository instructions.
15
+
16
+ ## When to Use
17
+
18
+ - Deciding whether and what to delegate to a subagent.
19
+ - Choosing a model, effort, and service tier for a bounded task in any
20
+ harness: Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or a direct provider API.
21
+ - Reviewing whether a dispatch was routed at the right capability class.
22
+
23
+ This skill is guidance, not dispatch machinery. `oat-dispatch-subagents`
24
+ (same pack) owns launch mechanics, catalog intersection, dispatch records,
25
+ and recovery; it loads this skill's references as its source of
26
+ model-selection policy.
27
+
28
+ ## Ownership: Root Keeps Judgment
29
+
30
+ - Keep cross-scope synthesis, consequential judgment, authorization,
31
+ destructive or irreversible execution, credentials, and user dialogue in
32
+ the root agent.
33
+ - Delegate bounded volume: reconnaissance, enumeration, self-contained
34
+ generation, and independently verifiable work.
35
+ - A bounded dossier lead may synthesize within one declared scope; judging
36
+ its output stays in the root.
37
+ - Verify load-bearing subagent claims before building on them. Require tool
38
+ evidence, citations, logs, query results, or file references — or an
39
+ independent reviewer — for any claim you will act on.
40
+ - Every nontrivial dispatch states: exact objective, bounded scope and
41
+ authority, expected output, verification evidence, and escalation
42
+ conditions. Model routing never repairs poor decomposition — narrow an
43
+ over-broad task before escalating its model.
44
+
45
+ ## Five Task Classes
46
+
47
+ Classify in order: deterministic verifiability, silent-miss risk,
48
+ dispersed-context reconciliation, ambiguity or novelty, then consequence.
49
+ File count and duration alone never justify escalation.
50
+
51
+ | Task class | Contract |
52
+ | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
53
+ | `mechanical-recon` | Deterministic inventories, parity checks, enumeration, lint/test/build runs. Misses are visible. Optimize for cost and throughput. |
54
+ | `intelligent-recon` | Interpreting unfamiliar code, semantics, or policy; auditing API usage. A miss could be silent. Needs reliable judgment and tool use. |
55
+ | `default-implementation` | Normal multi-file coding, debugging, and reconciliation of dispersed context in one bounded scope. |
56
+ | `hard-reasoning` | Ambiguous debugging, architecture analysis, novel problems, competing interpretations. |
57
+ | `consequential` | Security, release safety, incidents, irreversible operations, adversarial analysis, foundational decisions, final load-bearing review. |
58
+
59
+ Escalation boundaries:
60
+
61
+ - Mechanical → intelligent recon when a miss would be silent or judgment is
62
+ needed to recognize a finding.
63
+ - Recon → default implementation when success depends on retaining and
64
+ reconciling dispersed context, not merely searching many files.
65
+ - Default → hard reasoning when ambiguity, novelty, or reasoning difficulty
66
+ dominates. Large context alone is not a reason.
67
+ - Any class → consequential when security, production impact,
68
+ irreversibility, adversarial behavior, or expensive failure dominates.
69
+
70
+ **Never route below a class floor.** When uncertain between two classes, use
71
+ the stronger one.
72
+
73
+ ## Selection Axes
74
+
75
+ Keep these independent; a model family name alone is not a route:
76
+
77
+ - task class; agent role; exact model selector; provider-native effort or
78
+ reasoning mode; service or fast tier; authority; route or harness.
79
+
80
+ Do not normalize effort labels across providers — `Sol high`, Claude extended
81
+ thinking, and Grok high are provider-native configurations with different
82
+ behavior. Treat `-fast` variants as latency purchases, never capability
83
+ upgrades, unless provider documentation explicitly says otherwise.
84
+
85
+ ## Provider References
86
+
87
+ Resolve the active harness and read exactly one:
88
+
89
+ - Codex or direct OpenAI API: `references/provider-codex.md`
90
+ - Claude Code or direct Anthropic API: `references/provider-claude.md`
91
+ - Cursor (IDE, CLI, or SDK): `references/provider-cursor.md`
92
+
93
+ Do not merge provider references into one policy, and do not infer
94
+ direct-provider behavior from Cursor behavior or vice versa. Named models in
95
+ these references are dated examples with verification frontmatter; the live
96
+ catalog and current instructions always win.
97
+
98
+ Read `references/model-selection-principles.md` for the full durable
99
+ contract, and `references/evidence-and-refresh.md` when guidance is past its
100
+ review date, a newer model appears, or a consequential decision depends on
101
+ evidence that is not current. A newer model is a candidate requiring
102
+ qualification, never an automatic replacement.
103
+
104
+ ## Maintenance
105
+
106
+ This skill is the canonical source of model-selection policy. Downstream
107
+ distributions (for example a private team plugin) sync it verbatim. Refresh
108
+ the provider references per `references/evidence-and-refresh.md` and update
109
+ each file's `guidance_version` frontmatter when incumbents change.

13

14
+ ## Guidance States
15
+
16
+ - `fresh`: verified within 45 days and no material provider or harness change is known.
17
+ - `review-required`: older than 45 days, a newer family is observed, or a material control, price, tool, context, alias, or harness change is detected.
18
+ - `stale`: older than 90 days, named models are unavailable or deprecated, or the launching surface can no longer express the recorded controls.
19
+
20
+ Provider mappings in this package become review-required on 2026-09-04 and
21
+ stale on 2026-10-19 unless re-verified earlier.
22
+
23
+ ## Immediate Review Triggers
24
+
25
+ Review before dispatch when:
26
+
27
+ - the live catalog exposes a newer model family or unknown effort;
28
+ - a recommended selector is missing;
29
+ - alias resolution, native nesting, context handling, or tool support changed;
30
+ - provider safeguards materially change refusal behavior;
31
+ - relevant independent benchmark evidence contradicts the incumbent;
32
+ - a `-fast`, priority, or pro-like control has unclear semantics;
33
+ - the dispatch is consequential and the evidence is not current.
34
+
35
+ ## Candidate Qualification
36
+
37
+ A newer candidate replaces an incumbent only when evidence shows that it:
38
+
39
+ 1. satisfies the task-class capability contract;
40
+ 2. is exactly selectable in the launching harness;
41
+ 3. has understood provider-native effort and service-tier semantics;
42
+ 4. does not materially regress on a relevant harness or task benchmark;
43
+ 5. fits the route's cost and latency posture;
44
+ 6. has suitable tool-use and long-context behavior;
45
+ 7. has operationally acceptable safeguard and refusal behavior;
46
+ 8. is not contradicted by available internal evaluations.
47
+
48
+ Use primary provider documentation for controls and availability. Prefer
49
+ harness-specific evidence for harness routes, contamination-conscious coding
50
+ benchmarks for software work, and realistic trajectory benchmarks for tools.
51
+ When evidence is incomplete, retain the incumbent or route one class up.
52
+
53
+ ## Evidence Priorities
54
+
55
+ 1. Current user and repository instructions.
56
+ 2. Live launching-surface catalog and schema.
57
+ 3. Official provider documentation for model and control semantics.
58
+ 4. Relevant harness-specific benchmark.
59
+ 5. Independent cross-model benchmark with disclosed effort and harness.
60
+ 6. Reputable practitioner reports, used only as supporting evidence.
61
+
62
+ Do not use aggregate leaderboard rank as a universal model order.
63
+
64
+ ## Current Evidence Summary
65
+
66
+ - OpenAI positions GPT-5.6 Sol as frontier, Terra as balanced, and Luna as
67
+ high-volume. Official guidance starts at medium generally, but independent
68
+ coding-agent data shows meaningful Luna/Terra quality cliffs below high for
69
+ repository work. The dated mechanical Codex floor is therefore Luna high.
70
+ - Anthropic positions Sonnet 5 as the speed/intelligence workhorse, Opus 4.8 as
71
+ a complex coding and enterprise model, and Fable 5 as the most capable widely
72
+ released model. Their effort defaults and recommendations differ by model.
73
+ - CursorBench supports Composer 2.5 as an economical bounded coding worker.
74
+ Cursor explicitly documents Composer fast as the same intelligence at a
75
+ higher latency tier price.
76
+ - OpenAI's long-context evidence disqualifies Luna for some very large-context
77
+ work even when Luna's nominal context window accepts the input.
78
+ - Anthropic documents benign false positives from Fable's stronger cyber
79
+ classifier. This is operational evidence to consider when routing
80
+ cyber-sensitive work, not a capability weakness or a reason to invert the
81
+ general Opus-first policy.
82
+ - Cursor disclosed that Cursor repository data entered Grok 4.5's training
83
+ mixture. Its CursorBench ranking is evidence of competitiveness, not proof
84
+ of superiority over nearby frontier models. Practical use supports Grok 4.5
85
+ medium/high as primary alternatives for intelligent recon, general
86
+ implementation, and hard-reasoning economy routes, with cross-family review
87
+ retained for consequential conclusions.

+ # Model Selection Principles
2
+
3
+ Read this reference for every dispatch before the active provider reference.
4
+ It contains the durable contract. Provider files contain dated examples.
5
+
6
+ ## Selection Unit
7
+
8
+ Never select from a model family name alone. Preserve these axes separately:
9
+
10
+ - provider and harness;
11
+ - exact model selector and selector granularity;
12
+ - provider-native effort or reasoning selector;
13
+ - service tier, including fast or priority variants;
14
+ - reasoning mode when the provider exposes one independently of effort;
15
+ - role, context inheritance, authority, deadline, and route.
16
+
17
+ Do not normalize effort labels across providers. `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`,
18
+ `max`, extended thinking, adaptive thinking, and provider-specific modes have
19
+ different semantics. The exact pair or tuple is the route.
20
+
21
+ ## Five Task Classes
22
+
23
+ Classify in this order: deterministic verifiability, silent-miss risk,
24
+ dispersed-context reconciliation, ambiguity or novelty, then consequence.
25
+ File count and duration alone never justify escalation.
26
+
27
+ | Task class | Qualification contract |
28
+ | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
29
+ | `mechanical-recon` | Deterministic inventories, parity checks, exact extraction, or command execution whose misses are visible and cheaply verified. |
30
+ | `intelligent-recon` | Interpretation of unfamiliar code, policy, semantics, or evidence where a plausible miss could survive mechanical validation. |
31
+ | `default-implementation` | Independently bounded implementation or dossier work that must retain and reconcile dispersed context. |
32
+ | `hard-reasoning` | Ambiguity, novelty, architecture, difficult diagnosis, or competing interpretations dominates. |
33
+ | `consequential` | Security, release safety, irreversible effects, adversarial analysis, foundational decisions, or expensive failure dominates. |
34
+
35
+ When uncertain, use the stronger class. Never select below a supplied floor.
36
+
37
+ ## Default, Economy, and Escalation
38
+
39
+ Provider references may give three routes:
40
+
41
+ - **Default:** conservative route expected to hold quality without exceptional spend.
42
+ - **Economy:** permitted only when scope, verification, and consequences make the downgrade safe.
43
+ - **Escalation:** stronger route for ambiguity, unresolved evidence, or consequence.
44
+
45
+ Economy is not automatically “the smallest model.” Mechanical coding agents
46
+ still require enough capability to use tools, follow scope, and return complete
47
+ evidence. Prefer scripts over models when a deterministic program fully solves
48
+ the task.
49
+
50
+ ## Escalation Boundaries
51
+
52
+ - Mechanical to intelligent recon when judgment is required to identify a
53
+ finding, or when a miss would be silent.
54
+ - Recon to default implementation when success depends on retaining and
55
+ reconciling dispersed context, not merely searching many files.
56
+ - Default implementation to hard reasoning when ambiguity, novelty, or
57
+ reasoning difficulty dominates.
58
+ - Any class to consequential when security, production impact, irreversibility,
59
+ adversarial behavior, or expensive failure dominates.
60
+
61
+ Narrow a poorly decomposed task before escalating its model. Model capability
62
+ never repairs an over-broad objective.
63
+
64
+ ## Long Context
65
+
66
+ Large context alone does not change the task class, but it can disqualify a
67
+ model. Provider references may set a separate long-context floor based on
68
+ published retention evidence. Do not assume a cheap model with a large nominal
69
+ context window can use that window reliably.
70
+
71
+ ## Tool Reliability
72
+
73
+ Schema validity and semantic correctness are separate. For tool-using workers:
74
+
75
+ - expose the minimum tool set;
76
+ - prefer strict schemas when supported;
77
+ - document inputs, outputs, errors, and side effects;
78
+ - separate read from write authority;
79
+ - require exact evidence in the output;
80
+ - validate results and mutations outside the model;
81
+ - make writes idempotent or confirmation-bound;
82
+ - retain authorization in the caller or operator.
83
+
84
+ Higher effort may change tool-call behavior. Do not lower effort merely because
85
+ the final answer is short.
86
+
87
+ ## Service Tiers
88
+
89
+ A fast or priority tier is a latency control unless the provider explicitly
90
+ documents a capability difference. It does not satisfy a higher task-class
91
+ floor. Choose it only when wall-clock latency is worth the price and record it
92
+ separately from the model and effort.
93
+
94
+ ## Independent Review
95
+
96
+ For high-risk diffs and foundational decisions, prefer an author and reviewer
97
+ from different model families or providers. Agreement is not proof; disagreement
98
+ is evidence that the root must resolve. The root verifies every load-bearing
99
+ claim and retains final judgment.
100
+
101
+ ## Staleness
102
+
103
+ Read `evidence-and-refresh.md` when provider guidance is review-required or
104
+ stale, a newer model appears, or a current control cannot be expressed. Do not
105
+ automatically replace an incumbent with the newest version.

+
16
+ - `claude-haiku-4-5`: fastest economical class for straightforward,
17
+ high-volume, mechanically verified work.
18
+ - `claude-sonnet-5`: normal workhorse for coding, tool use, knowledge work, and
19
+ agentic execution.
20
+ - `claude-opus-4-8`: strong complex coding and enterprise route and the
21
+ default for hard-reasoning and consequential work.
22
+ - `claude-fable-5`: exceptional escalation route for the most difficult
23
+ long-running agents, coding, and frontier knowledge work.
24
+
25
+ Claude Mythos 5 is invitation-only and intended for approved defensive cyber
26
+ work. It is not a general routing candidate unless the organization explicitly
27
+ provisions and authorizes it.
28
+
29
+ ## Provider-Native Effort
30
+
31
+ Never normalize Claude effort against OpenAI or Cursor labels.
32
+
33
+ - Sonnet 5: high is the default workhorse; medium is the cost-saving step down;
34
+ xhigh is for the hardest coding and agentic work; max is exceptional.
35
+ - Opus 4.8: start at xhigh for coding and agentic work; use high for other
36
+ intelligence-sensitive work; lower only after evaluation.
37
+ - Fable 5: start at high; use xhigh for capability-sensitive work; max is
38
+ exceptional; medium/low are routine-work controls, not the default economy
39
+ substitute for Sonnet.
40
+ - Haiku 4.5 does not expose the same adaptive-effort surface. Use only controls
41
+ present in the live schema.
42
+
43
+ Effort changes tool-call behavior as well as prose. Record it independently.
44
+ For Opus 4.8 direct API calls, verify adaptive thinking is enabled as required
45
+ by the current API contract. Fable adaptive thinking is always on in the
46
+ current API.
47
+
48
+ ## Dated Task-Class Matrix
49
+
50
+ | Task class | Default | Economy | Escalation | Floor notes |
51
+ | ------------------------ | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
52
+ | `mechanical-recon` | Haiku 4.5 | Same, with strict output and mechanical verification | Sonnet 5 medium | Haiku is below floor for semantic audits and silent-miss-prone exploration. |
53
+ | `intelligent-recon` | Sonnet 5 high | Sonnet 5 medium | Sonnet xhigh or Opus 4.8 xhigh | Do not use Sonnet low for coding or open-ended recon. |
54
+ | `default-implementation` | Sonnet 5 high | Sonnet 5 medium | Sonnet xhigh or Opus 4.8 xhigh | Fable low/medium is not the routine economy route. |
55
+ | `hard-reasoning` | Opus 4.8 xhigh | Sonnet 5 xhigh | Fable 5 xhigh for exceptional escalation | Unresolved ambiguity or exceptional novelty must justify Fable's incremental cost. |
56
+ | `consequential` | Opus 4.8 xhigh | No routine economy route | Fable 5 xhigh or max plus independent review | A consequential label alone does not justify Fable; retain root authorization and review. |
57
+
58
+ ## Root and Subagent Cost Posture
59
+
60
+ Preserve strong, low-volume root orchestration. Root calls are
61
+ coherence-critical and comparatively infrequent, while bounded subagents carry
62
+ most execution volume. Capture routine savings in higher-volume subagents by
63
+ routing mechanical work to Haiku and normal implementation to Sonnet instead
64
+ of weakening the root orchestrator.
65
+
66
+ Opus remains the hard-reasoning and consequential root default. Escalate the
67
+ root from Opus to Fable only when unresolved ambiguity, exceptional novelty or
68
+ consequence, or a directly relevant Fable strength is expected to justify the
69
+ incremental cost. A consequential classification by itself is insufficient.
70
+
71
+ ## Cyber-Sensitive Evidence
72
+
73
+ Fable 5 has a stronger cyber classifier that may flag benign coding and
74
+ debugging work. For security review, vulnerability triage, auth boundaries,
75
+ permissions, and other dual-use workflows where false-positive blocking would
76
+ break the run, Opus 4.8 xhigh remains the operational default. Pair
77
+ consequential findings with an independent provider review.
78
+
79
+ Do not infer that a stronger safety classifier is a capability weakness. It is
80
+ evidence about predictable workflow completion and refusal behavior, not an
81
+ exception that inverts the general Opus-first policy.

+ # Codex and OpenAI Model Selection
8
+
9
+ Load this reference when the active harness is Codex or the route is a direct
10
+ OpenAI API worker. Current user and repository instructions override the dated
11
+ model examples below. Launch mechanics for OAT dispatch live in
12
+ `oat-dispatch-subagents/references/provider-codex.md`.
13
+
14
+ ## Current Families
15
+
16
+ Use the GPT-5.6 family for new general coding and knowledge work unless an
17
+ existing evaluated workflow requires an older snapshot:
18
+
19
+ - `gpt-5.6-sol`: frontier capability;
20
+ - `gpt-5.6-terra`: intelligence and cost balance;
21
+ - `gpt-5.6-luna`: cost-sensitive, high-volume work.
22
+
23
+ Direct API specialist routes:
24
+
25
+ - `gpt-5.4-mini`: economical coding, computer use, and subagent work;
26
+ - `gpt-5.4-nano`: classification, extraction, ranking, and simple high-volume
27
+ subagents. Do not use it for semantic repository exploration.
28
+
29
+ Treat GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 full, GPT-5.3 Codex, GPT-5.2, and older models as
30
+ compatibility, regression, or account-availability routes unless current
31
+ workflow evidence prefers them. Do not keep an older model merely because its
32
+ name includes `codex`.
33
+
34
+ ## Dated Task-Class Matrix
35
+
36
+ | Task class | Default | Economy | Escalation | Floor notes |
37
+ | ------------------------ | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
38
+ | `mechanical-recon` | `gpt-5.6-luna`, `high` | Direct API only: `gpt-5.4-mini` medium; `gpt-5.4-nano` medium for strict extraction/classification | `gpt-5.6-terra`, medium or high | Do not use Luna none/low for broad repository work. |
39
+ | `intelligent-recon` | `gpt-5.6-terra`, `high` | Terra `medium` with tight scope and verification | Sol `medium`, then `high` | A silent miss disqualifies Terra none/low. |
40
+ | `default-implementation` | `gpt-5.6-sol`, `medium` | Terra `high` for independently bounded, strongly tested work | Sol `high` | Luna is not the normal implementation lead. |
41
+ | `hard-reasoning` | `gpt-5.6-sol`, `high` | Sol `medium` only after narrowing the problem | Sol `xhigh` | Do not automatically escalate Terra to xhigh/max; move to Sol. |
42
+ | `consequential` | `gpt-5.6-sol`, `xhigh` | No routine economy route | Sol `max`, or a separately evaluated Sol `pro` route | Require independent review and root-owned authorization. |
43
+
44
+ `reasoning.mode: "pro"` is a separate quality/latency/cost control on GPT-5.6,
45
+ not a model slug and not an effort label. Record it independently. Evaluate it
46
+ against max or xhigh on representative consequential work before adopting it.
47
+
48
+ ## Long-Context Floor
49
+
50
+ For very large context, prefer Sol or Terra. Published GPT-5.6 results show a
51
+ large Luna retention drop in the 256K-to-1M range. Large context does not change
52
+ the task class, but it may disqualify Luna, mini, or nano.
53
+
54
+ ## Tool-Heavy Work
55
+
56
+ Use Programmatic Tool Calling only for bounded processing such as filtering,
57
+ joining, ranking, deduplication, aggregation, or validation over tool results.
58
+ Keep stages requiring fresh judgment in direct calls or the root. Declare the
59
+ allowed tools, output schema, evidence, concurrency, retries, and stopping
60
+ conditions.
61
+
62
+ Use strict structured outputs for mechanical API workers. Strict schema
63
+ conformance does not prove that the chosen tool or semantic result is correct.

+ # Cursor Model Selection
9
+
10
+ Load this reference when the active harness is Cursor (IDE, CLI, or SDK).
11
+ Current user and repository instructions override the dated model examples
12
+ below. Treat every observed catalog as a volatile snapshot, never a durable
13
+ inventory. Launch mechanics for OAT dispatch live in
14
+ `oat-dispatch-subagents/references/provider-cursor.md`.
15
+
16
+ ## Harness Rule
17
+
18
+ Cursor wraps model providers with its own prompts, tools, context management,
19
+ agent loop, aliases, and service tiers. Direct-provider evidence informs a
20
+ candidate, but Cursor-native evidence should decide a Cursor route when the two
21
+ conflict.
22
+
23
+ The Cursor SDK exposes the Cursor runtime, harness, and models. It is not a
24
+ transparent raw OpenAI or Anthropic API call.
25
+
26
+ ## Service-Tier Rule
27
+
28
+ Treat every alias ending in `-fast` as a service-tier selection, not a higher
29
+ capability class, unless current Cursor documentation explicitly says
30
+ otherwise. Composer 2.5 fast is documented as the same intelligence at a higher
31
+ price. Use standard aliases for background work and fast aliases only when
32
+ measured wall-clock latency justifies the premium.
33
+
34
+ Record the model and the service tier separately even when Cursor encodes both
35
+ in one opaque alias.
36
+
37
+ ## Dated Task-Class Matrix
38
+
39
+ Use exact aliases from the live catalog. The examples below were present in the
40
+ user's 2026-07-21 snapshot.
41
+
42
+ | Task class | Default | Economy | Escalation | Floor notes |
43
+ | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
44
+ | `mechanical-recon` | `composer-2.5` | `composer-2.5` | `gpt-5.6-luna-high` | Use `composer-2.5-fast` or Luna fast only for latency, not capability. |
45
+ | `intelligent-recon` | `cursor-grok-4.5-medium` or `gpt-5.6-sol-medium` | `gpt-5.6-terra-high` | `gpt-5.6-sol-high` | Grok medium is a primary route; Sol medium is the conservative silent-miss alternative; Terra high is the cost-saving route. |
46
+ | `default-implementation` | `gpt-5.6-sol-medium` | `composer-2.5` for bounded, testable changes | `gpt-5.6-sol-high` or `claude-fable-5-thinking-high` | Sol is the conservative incumbent; `cursor-grok-4.5-medium` is a primary alternative for general implementation. Choose Fable for open-ended coherence; Sol for code-first execution. |
47
+ | `hard-reasoning` | `gpt-5.6-sol-high` | `cursor-grok-4.5-high` for architecture, ambiguous debugging, and incident diagnosis | `gpt-5.6-sol-xhigh` or `claude-fable-5-thinking-xhigh` | Narrow the task before downgrading. Do not infer equivalence between the two escalation efforts. |
48
+ | `consequential` | Cross-family author/reviewer pair, normally Sol xhigh plus Fable thinking xhigh | No routine economy route | Sol max plus Fable thinking max | For cyber-sensitive review, use `claude-opus-4-8-thinking-xhigh` or max instead of relying on Fable alone. Grok may contribute analysis but is never the sole reviewer. |
49
+
50
+ ## Broader Cursor Routes
51
+
52
+ - `cursor-grok-4.5-medium`: primary alternative for intelligent recon and
53
+ general implementation; strong for code exploration, brainstorming, research
54
+ synthesis, debugging, broad knowledge work, and judgment-heavy tool
55
+ workflows.
56
+ - `cursor-grok-4.5-high`: economy route for hard reasoning, architecture,
57
+ ambiguous debugging, and incident diagnosis.
58
+ - `cursor-grok-4.5-low`: simpler tool workflows; prefer `composer-2.5` for
59
+ highly mechanical work on cost.
60
+ - Grok is never the sole final authority for a consequential factual, security,
61
+ incident, or architectural conclusion. Require tool evidence, citations,
62
+ logs, query results, or file references for load-bearing Grok claims, or
63
+ pair it with an independent Sol, Fable, or Opus reviewer.
64
+ - CursorBench caveat: Cursor disclosed that Cursor repository data entered
65
+ Grok 4.5's training mixture. Treat its ranking as evidence of
66
+ competitiveness, not proof of superiority over nearby frontier models.
67
+ - `claude-sonnet-5-thinking-high`: strong provider-diversity alternative for
68
+ normal implementation and agentic work when available.
69
+ - `gpt-5.4-mini-medium`: economical general tool and coding worker.
70
+ - `gpt-5.4-nano-medium`: strict extraction, classification, ranking, and simple
71
+ read-only tool calls. Not a semantic repository worker.
72
+ - Gemini, Kimi, GLM, GPT-5.5/5.4/5.3 Codex/5.2, and older Claude aliases:
73
+ compatibility, availability, or task-specific alternatives. Do not make them
74
+ defaults without current relevant evidence.
75
+
76
+ `auto` is allowed for interactive convenience only. It is prohibited for
77
+ class-constrained dispatch, repeatable evaluations, auditable automation, and
78
+ consequential work because the exact model is not a stable input.
