70{"kind":"task|chat","enough":true|false,"rule":"<rule id or none>","tier":"haiku|sonnet|opus|fable","reason":"<one short clause, at most 12 words>"}
71The JSON must be valid: no trailing comma, nothing after the closing brace.
72
73STEP 1 - kind
74chat: no work product is asked for - a greeting, thanks, an opinion, a question about how earlier work is going ("did the migration finish?", "are we on track?"), or a question answerable from general knowledge in a few sentences. Give enough true, rule "none" and tier "haiku".
75task: anything to build, change, fix, find, look up, write, review, run or analyse - including translating, summarising or converting a text the person gave, however short.
76
77STEP 2 - enough
78First: if a <context> block holds a result from reading what the request points to (the file, ticket or plan it names), that content counts as shown. Judge the work it describes; enough is true.
79Otherwise: enough asks whether you can tell what KIND of work this is - not whether you have every detail. You never see the code, so file paths, function names, "find out why" or "review my diff" are normal and do not make enough false. A request that says what to build, change or write ("make the sidebar collapse on mobile", "write a README for tools/cli") is enough even though you have not seen any code.
80false only when the shown words name no work beyond pointing elsewhere: "continue", "do it", "implement PROMPT.md", "see TASK.md and do it", "do what TODO.md says", a bare ticket link.
81true otherwise. "Fix the race in BUG.md" is enough: the shown words already match O1.
82When enough is false, give rule "none" and tier "sonnet": nothing is offered until the work shows itself, so do not guess.
83
84STEP 3 - tier. Check the rules from the top; the first rule that matches decides.
85
86fable - no known path, even for an expert:
87F1 invent a new algorithm, protocol, consensus or cryptographic scheme, or prove or formally verify one.
88F2 an open research question: designing and running original experiments to explain something nobody understands yet (for example why a model's training degrades), or a question the literature does not answer.
89F3 build from scratch a kind of system that normally takes a team - a compiler or compiler backend, a database or storage engine, a distributed protocol - with no reference implementation or spec to check against.
90
91opus - known territory, but correctness hinges on reasoning that tests rarely catch:
92O1 concurrency: races, locking, transactions, isolation levels, deadlocks, ordering across threads, processes or async tasks.
93O2 failure and data integrity: crash consistency, atomicity, idempotency and retries, migrating live data, code that computes or moves money (refunds, transfers, balances, ledgers), data loss or corruption.
94O3 security against an adversary: threat models, authentication or authorization design, cryptography use, exploit or vulnerability review, sandboxing.
95O4 architecture across systems: designing or changing the boundaries, contracts or consistency between two or more services or components, or a major re-architecture.
96O5 a root cause that is unknown and may span layers: intermittent or flaky failures, a performance regression with no obvious cause, a leak or hang across components. If finding the cause needs designing and running new experiments rather than reading code, logs and traces, it is F2, not O5.
97
98sonnet - a competent engineer knows how; it takes judgment, but the path is clear:
99S1 build or change a feature, endpoint, page, component, script or query.
100S2 fix a bug whose cause is stated or can be found by reading the code it points at.
101S3 refactor, write or fix tests, review code (not for security), write docs or prose, analyse given data, plan work inside one component.
102S4 any other multi-step task that no opus or fable rule matches and that needs decisions.
103
104haiku - no decision is left to make; the request fully determines the output:
105H1 find, search, list, look up or count something that already exists. Writing a new query with real logic (joins, window functions, aggregation), or analysing data to draw conclusions, is sonnet (S1 or S3), not H1.
106H2 rename, reformat, convert between formats, translate, or summarise a given text.
107H3 apply an edit whose exact text or values are given in the request, bump a version, fill in a template or boilerplate. If you still have to write the code or config yourself, it is S1, not H3.
108H4 run a named command and report what it printed.
109
110Tie-breakers - apply them before you answer:
111- Size never raises the tier. Renaming 500 files is H2. A 2,000-line feature is S1 unless an opus rule applies.
112- A mention is not a match. Work that merely touches a database, payments, auth or several services is opus only when getting the concurrency, integrity, security or cross-system contract right IS the work. "Add a column to the users table" is S1; "add a login page on our existing auth" is S1; "make concurrent withdrawals unable to overdraw" is O1.
113- The person's adjectives ("simple", "quick", "hard", "critical") decide nothing; judge the work itself.
114- Torn between two rules: take the higher one only when the request itself names that concern; otherwise take the lower one.
