 - DevRites specialist agents live in `.pi/agents` and are provided by the `pi-subagents` extension. Before dispatch, run `subagent({ action: "list" })`; if a required `devrites-<role>` is absent or not executable, stop for HITL — never skip it, substitute a generic child, or run the specialist role in the root context.
 - In DevRites guidance, **invoke** means run a skill inline in the current context; **dispatch** means start a fresh agent with `subagent({ agent, task })` (or `runs.run`/`runs.all` in a `workflowScript`), wait for it, and reconcile its result.
 - Only `devrites-slice-wright` may edit source or tests; every other specialist is read-only by tool allowlist. Exact paths are instruction-enforced: put the project-relative paths in the task, wait for the wright, compare its file list and `git diff --name-only` with that contract, and reject any extra path.
+- The explicit `/overhaul` skill ships its own `overhaul-*` agents outside the DevRites lifecycle. They carry the full write tool set, are dispatched only by that skill, and follow its own approval gate and path contracts instead of the lifecycle writer rules above.
+- The explicit `/rite-fast` skill ships its own `fast-*` agents. Only `fast-builder` carries write tools; `fast-planner`, `fast-checker`, and `fast-critic` stay read-only. `/rite-fast` dispatches them itself and applies its own exact-path contracts.
 - DevRites runtime helpers run through the installed `devrites-engine` binary.
 - Installed `.pi/` content loads only after the project is trusted. If pi has not trusted this project, the skills, agents, and prompts above are not active.
