+owner decisions and acceptance. The default is one MAIN loop that loads skills on
+demand and runs independent tool calls in parallel. A worker costs several times the
+tokens of the same work in one loop, every handoff loses detail, and parallel workers
+often finish later than one loop would. Delegate a unit to a native worker only when
+at least one condition holds and outweighs that cost:
+
+- parallel work: the unit is independent, substantial and needs little of MAIN's
+  context, so a fresh, discardable context covers it sooner or more thoroughly;
+- context isolation: the unit would flood MAIN with output it mostly does not need,
+  such as a wide search, a long log or a large read, and can return a compact result;
+- independent verification: a reviewer that should not share the author's reasoning;
+- specialization: the unit needs tools or instructions that conflict with MAIN's.
+
+Name the condition for each delegated unit in the current plan; without one, the
+unit stays in MAIN. Split by context, not by type of work: the worker that changes a
+feature also writes and runs its tests, and planning, implementation and testing of
+one unit are not split across workers. Give each worker a short task packet, not the
+whole conversation, and ask for a concise report. Send narrow, mechanical work to a
+cheaper model under the host's policy. Each worker's model and effort come from that
