Owner rule carried over from Ebb: every implementation, review and verification agent is Opus. One task per agent, each in its own worktree, briefed with goal, files to read, established facts, numbers it may use, setup, gate and report format.

**Why:** smaller models produced work that had to be redone; the owner would rather pay for one correct pass.

**How to apply:** `model: opus` on every Agent call unless the owner names another model for a specific read-only job. See [[orchestrator-never-codes]].
