Run the target CLI's live help before invoking it. Give each delegated call one outcome, only the essential context, and a request for a concise response.
Claude Code
- Treat the Claude Pro allowance as scarce: make one fresh, non-interactive call per task, and avoid resumed sessions, exploratory calls, and follow-ups.
- Use the strongest available Opus model with high effort.
Codex
- Treat the Codex allowance as scarce: make one fresh non-interactive
codex execcall per task, and avoid resumed sessions, exploratory calls, and follow-ups. - Keep the model and reasoning-effort defaults from
~/.codex/config.toml; do not override them. - For a second opinion, critique, or explanation, run with the read-only sandbox and forbid edits.
OpenCode
- Read the refreshed verbose model catalog, then use
opencode-go/glm-5.3-flash. If it is unavailable, use the strongest GLM Flash model from the OpenCode Go provider. - Use the
highreasoning level, not the model's highest available level. - For a second opinion, critique, or explanation, send an
ask-mode prompt with the relevant context and exact question, and forbid edits.
