 ## Model Selection
 
-- **opus** — Deep reasoning tasks: planning, architecture, security review. Slower but more thorough.
-- **sonnet** — Implementation tasks: code review, testing, writing, fixing. Faster turnaround.
+- **opus** — Deep reasoning: planning, security audit, code review. Slower but more thorough.
+- **sonnet** — Implementation: architecture execution, testing, writing, fixing. Faster turnaround.
+
+Principle: planner does the deep thinking, implementation agents execute the plan.
 
 ## Tool Restrictions
 
 Each agent declares a `tools` array in its frontmatter, following the principle of least privilege:
-- **Read-only agents** (planner, architects): Read, Glob, Grep — they advise, not implement
-- **Implementation agents** (test-engineer, build-error-resolver): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash
-- **Review agents** (code-reviewer): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash (for git commands)
+- **Read-only agents** (planner): Read, Glob, Grep — plans, doesn't implement
+- **Implementation agents** (architects, test-engineer, build-error-resolver): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash
+- **Review agents** (code-reviewer, security-auditor): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash (for git/scan commands)
