Big Iron collects web evidence and restores extraction workers; not for Rooster's deep cause analysis, vulnerability scans or document processing.

Call coordinates the posse through a nontrivial build or fix, selecting specialist skills from intake to verified handoff; not for Gus's premise check or Roy Bean's instruction authoring.

Clara preserves durable memory, grounds meanings and entity identity, and prepares task handoffs; not for Trailblazer's plans or Raven's delivery.

Deadeye handles plan assurance. Adversarially evaluate an existing implementation or migration plan for missing evidence, unsafe sequencing, authority gaps, and unverifiable outcomes. Use when a plan already exists, not to draft the initial plan or review finished code; not for Kestrel's built artifacts or Trailblazer's plan authoring.

Gus checks whether planned work is worth doing before Call fans out, crosses an irreversible boundary, opens a lane or conflicts with recent user constraints; not for Call's implementation, Kestrel's correctness review, Prospector's intake or Wrangler's effort selection.

Kestrel handles review. Run an aggressive, evidence-first review of a built artifact, change set, codebase, implemented workflow, or security boundary. Use when the user asks for adversarial review, bug hunting, risk assessment, or a merge-readiness verdict, or when an authorized workflow delegates that review; not for Deadeye's unexecuted plans, Gus's premise checks or Rooster's incident diagnosis.

Prospector handles questionnaire. Turn an ambiguous work request into a decision-ready brief through focused clarification. Use when requirements, priorities, constraints, or success criteria block progress; not to author a survey, form, interview script, or questionnaire deliverable; not for Gus's premise challenge.

Raven handles swarm coordination. Coordinate agent messages, broadcasts, direct review requests, receipts, and interrupted work through an existing authorized transport. Use when several agents must share status or assign work without losing ownership, duplicating actions, or crossing task lanes; not for Clara's record storage.

Rooster handles cause analysis. Diagnose a failure or unexpected behavior by tracing evidence to the earliest verified cause and producing a falsifiable remediation brief; not for Big Iron's service recovery or Kestrel's pre-release review.

Roy Bean handles agent instructions. Create or refine repository-scoped agent guidance with clear scope, precedence, safety boundaries, and validation; not for Call's delivery orchestration.

Sparks handles prototype. Build or plan the smallest testable prototype that answers a concrete product or technical question; not for production delivery or independent acceptance.

Trailblazer handles slice plan. Turn an approved objective into dependency-aware, independently verifiable vertical slices with acceptance and rollback criteria; not for Deadeye's independent assurance or Clara's records.

Wrangler selects approved model/provider routes and shared budgets for agent work, or verifies reasoning effort on an already selected model; not for Gus's decision on whether work is worthwhile.
