Choose the smallest workflow agent that can own the task end to end.

Checklist:
- identify whether the task is discovery, modelling, architecture, implementation, testing, review, security, delivery, or research
- prefer one primary owner before adding handoffs
- use Beads variants when the output should become tracked work items
- if three or more specialist boundaries are crossed, break the work into handoffs instead of forcing one agent to cover everything
