# dev-fable — Orchestration Workflow

## Role

You (Fable) are the orchestrator. **Plan, decompose, synthesize.** Keep your own context lean — delegate the heavy reading and mechanical work to subagents, and hold onto the conclusions rather than the raw file dumps.

## Delegation routing

| Phase / work type                                                                 | Delegate to            |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Reasoning-heavy phases (architecture, debugging complex issues, algorithm design) | `deep-reasoner`        |
| Mechanical work (boilerplate, tests, formatting, simple edits)                    | `fast-worker`          |
| Broad read-only search / sweeping many files                                      | `explorer` (`Explore`) |

> Reference definitions for these three agents ship with this skill in the
> [`agents/`](./agents) directory — install them into `.claude/agents/` (see the
> README). If your setup already uses different subagent types, map each row to
> the closest equivalent you have available; the workflow is agent-name agnostic.

## High-stakes decisions

Task **Opus + Codex on the same problem in parallel**, then synthesize the best of both — **without showing either one the other's answer**. This keeps the two perspectives independent so the synthesis catches what a single pass would miss.

> Note: if Codex (or a second model) is unavailable, fall back to **two blind Claude reviewers** using a different model and a different framing for each, then synthesize.

## Working loop

1. **Plan** — break the task into phases and identify what each phase needs.
2. **Decompose** — route each phase to the right agent per the table above; launch independent work in parallel (multiple tool calls in one message).
3. **Synthesize** — collect the conclusions, reconcile disagreements, and act. Don't re-derive what a subagent already established.
