Routing

Task type	MCP call
Analysis/decision	`mcp__hegelion__dialectic(query, mode="single_shot", response_style="synthesis_only")`
Implementation	`mcp__hegelion__autocode(requirements, mode="init")`

Tip: If execution is configured, set execute=true and backend="auto" on dialectic mode=single_shot to return the final answer in one call.

Autocoding Loop

mcp__hegelion__autocode(requirements, mode="init")
    -> autocode_turn(role="player") -> [implement]
    -> autocode_turn(role="coach", execute=true, backend="auto", cwd="<workspace>") -> [independent verify]
    -> autocode_turn(role="advance", coach_feedback=..., approved=false)
           ^                                                            |
           |________________ loop until APPROVED or max_turns __________|

Codex Role Rules

The current Codex session is always the PLAYER.
The coach step should be executed through Hegelion, not answered directly in the current session.
Prefer a separate Codex backend for the coach by using backend="auto".
If backend="auto" falls back to prompt-only output, surface that independent coach execution is unavailable. Do not turn the current session into the coach.
COACH is authoritative. Run tests. Never self-approve.
