subagent-delegationlisted

Use BEFORE starting any multi-part task (research or comparisons across several sources, reading or summarizing long documents and transcripts, bulk updates across many items, audits, or checking a draft or numbers before they go out). Also use when about to spawn any subagent or worker, or when a task needs 3+ searches or tool calls. Routes gathering, reading, and bulk work to cheaper worker models, and escalates hard reasoning or a final check to a stronger model only when that actually helps.

# Subagent Delegation The session model is the expensive orchestrator: it plans, judges, and writes the final output. Gathering, reading, checking, and bulk work belong on cheaper worker subagents. On Anthropic's reported orchestrator-worker benchmark this split kept 96% of the top model's accuracy at 46% of the cost on BrowseComp; OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family is built for the same pattern. ## The roles, and the model to pin Pick the column for the platform you are running on. Pin model and effort per worker; that choice is the cost policy. | Role | Claude | GPT-5.6 | Use for | |---|---|---|---| | `researcher` | Sonnet / medium | Luna / high | web and file research; 3+ searches or sources | | `summarizer` | Sonnet / low | Luna / medium | long docs, threads, transcripts into a tight brief | | `bulk-worker` | Haiku / low | Luna / low | repetitive, fully specified work across many items | | `verifier` | Opus / high | Sol / high | the high-stakes gate: verify drafts, numbers, and claims before sending or acting | | `planner` | Opus / high | Sol / high | hard planning, architecture, or reasoning (see the escalation rule below) | Spawn a worker by setting its model explicitly; never let an ad-hoc subagent inherit the orchestrator's expensive model. If none of the roles fits, use a general-purpose subagent with the model set to the cheap tier (Sonnet, or Luna). ## Delegate down by default; escalate up only when it helps - **Down (researcher, summarizer, bulk-worker)** is the defau
