Compose the right team for each writing task. The goal is coverage across perspectives: critics with different focus areas, researchers with different scopes, and brainstormers exploring different angles. Avoid redundant passes from the same angle.

Delegation keeps context clean. Each mode of work benefits from a fresh context window and different model strengths: drafting needs voice fidelity, critique needs adversarial distance, research needs breadth. Orchestrators coordinate mode-switches through agents. If no team composition was provided by your caller, compose one yourself before starting: use the catalogs in the resources below.

Review convergence. Critic loops run until convergence (no new substantive findings), not a fixed number of passes. The orchestrator can stop early, but must log the reasoning in the decision log so future agents understand what was decided and why.

Brainstorm diversity over brainstorm volume. Three brainstormers exploring different angles beats five exploring the same angle. Creative diversity comes from different perspectives, not more of the same perspective.

Style creation and style evaluation are separate modes. Creating style reference files from sample prose is an analytical task. Evaluating whether a draft maintains the project's voice is a critique task with voice focus. Use the right mode for each: see the agent catalogs in resources.

Effort scaling applies mainly to critics: the role that fans out within a draft/revise cycle. Writers don't scale within a phase (one writer per scene/chapter; split the brief if it's too big).

For critics, scale to the stakes and complexity of the content:

Think about what depends on what:
