Let me analyze this task step by step to decompose it into sequential subtasks:

1. **Task Understanding**
   "What is the overall objective?"
   - What is being asked?
   - What is the expected final outcome?
   - What constraints exist?

2. **Identify Natural Boundaries**
   "Where does the work naturally divide?"
   - Database/model changes (foundation)
   - Interface/contract changes (dependencies)
   - Implementation changes (core work)
   - Integration/caller updates (ripple effects)
   - Testing/validation (verification)
   - Documentation (finalization)

3. **Dependency Identification**
   "What must happen before what?"
   - "If I do B before A, will B break or use stale information?"
   - "Does B need any output from A as input?"
   - "Would doing B first require redoing work after A?"
   - What is the minimal viable ordering?

4. **Define Clear Boundaries**
   "What exactly does each subtask encompass?"
   - Input: What does this step receive?
   - Action: What transformation/change does it make?
   - Output: What does this step produce?
   - Verification: How do we know it succeeded?

Let me determine the optimal configuration for each subtask:

For Subtask N:
1. **Complexity Assessment**
   "How complex is the reasoning required?"
   - High: Architecture decisions, novel problem-solving, critical logic changes
   - Medium: Standard patterns, moderate refactoring, API updates
   - Low: Simple transformations, straightforward updates, documentation

2. **Scope Assessment**
   "How extensive is the work?"
   - Large: Multiple files, complex interactions
   - Medium: Single component, focused changes
   - Small: Minor modifications, single file

3. **Risk Assessment**
   "What is the impact of errors?"
   - High: Breaking changes, security-sensitive, data integrity
   - Medium: Internal changes, reversible modifications
   - Low: Non-critical utilities, documentation

4. **Domain Expertise Check**
   "Does this match a specialized agent profile?"
   - Development: implementation, refactoring, bug fixes
   - Architecture: system design, pattern selection
   - Documentation: API docs, comments, README updates
   - Testing: test generation, test updates

Is this subtask CRITICAL (architecture, interface, breaking changes)?
|
+-- YES --> Use Opus (highest capability for critical work)
|           |
|           +-- Does it match a specialized domain?
|               +-- YES --> Include specialized agent prompt
|               +-- NO --> Use Opus alone
|
+-- NO --> Is this subtask COMPLEX but not critical?
           |
           +-- YES --> Use Sonnet (balanced capability/cost)
           |
           +-- NO --> Is output LONG but task not complex?
                      |
                      +-- YES --> Use Sonnet (handles length well)
                      |
                      +-- NO --> Is this subtask SIMPLE/MECHANICAL?
                                 |
                                 +-- YES --> Use Haiku (fast, cheap)
                                 |
                                 +-- NO --> Use Sonnet (default for uncertain)

**Dispatch Example**

Send BOTH Task tool calls in a single message. Meta-judge first, implementation second:

Wait for BOTH to return before proceeding to judge dispatch.

You are evaluating Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name} against an evaluation specification produced by the meta judge.

CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT=`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`

{meta-judge's evaluation specification YAML}

CRITICAL: NEVER provide score threshold, in any format, including `threshold_pass` or anything different. Judge MUST not know what threshold for score is, in order to not be biased!!!

**Dispatch:**

undefined

1. Dispatch meta-judge AND implementation agent IN PARALLEL (single message, 2 tool calls):
   Tool call 1 (meta-judge — MUST be first):
     Use Task tool:
       - description: "Meta-judge Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}"
       - prompt: {meta-judge prompt with step requirements and context}
       - model: opus
       - subagent_type: "sadd:meta-judge"

   Tool call 2 (implementation):
     Use Task tool:
       - description: "Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}"
       - prompt: {constructed prompt with CoT + task + previous context + self-critique}
       - model: {selected model for this subtask}
       - subagent_type: "{selected agent type}"

2. Wait for BOTH to complete. Collect outputs:
   - From meta-judge: Extract evaluation specification YAML
   - From implementation: Parse "Context for Next Steps" section, note files modified

3. Dispatch judge sub-agent (with this step's meta-judge specification):
   Use Task tool:
     - description: "Judge Step {N}/{total}: {subtask_name}"
     - prompt: {judge verification prompt with step requirements, implementation output, and meta-judge specification YAML}
     - model: opus
     - subagent_type: "sadd:judge"

4. Parse judge verdict (DO NOT read full report):
   Extract from judge reply:
   - VERDICT: PASS or FAIL
   - SCORE: X.X/5.0
   - ISSUES: List of problems (if any)
   - IMPROVEMENTS: List of suggestions (if any)

5. Decision based on verdict:

   If score ≥4.0:
     → VERDICT: PASS
     → Proceed to next step with accumulated context
     → Include IMPROVEMENTS in context as optional enhancements

   IF score ≥ 3.0 and all found issues are low priority, then:
     → VERDICT: PASS
     → Proceed to next step with accumulated context
     → Include IMPROVEMENTS in context as optional enhancements

   If score <4.0:
     → VERDICT: FAIL
     → Check retry count for this step

     If retries < 3:
       → Dispatch retry implementation agent with:
         - Original step requirements
         - Judge's ISSUES list as feedback
         - Path to judge report for details
         - Instruction to fix specific issues
       → Return to judge verification with SAME meta-judge specification from this step
       → Do NOT re-run meta-judge for retries

     If retries ≥ 3:
       → Escalate to user (see Error Handling)
       → Do NOT proceed to next step

6. Proceed to next subtask with accumulated context
   → Next step gets a NEW meta-judge dispatched in parallel with its implementation agent

undefined

undefined

undefined

undefined

Judge FAIL (Retry Available):
  1. Parse ISSUES from judge verdict
  2. Dispatch retry implementation agent with feedback
  3. Re-verify with judge (using same step's meta-judge specification — do NOT re-run meta-judge)
  4. Repeat until PASS or max retries (3)

undefined

**Never:**

- Continue past a failed step after max retries
- Skip judge verification to "save time"
- Ignore persistent issues across retries
- Make assumptions about what might have worked

Step 1: Fix payment validation bugs
  Parallel dispatch: Meta-judge + Implementation
  Judge Verification (with step 1 meta-judge spec):
    NOTE: Pre-existing changes detected from USER modifications.

  Attempt 4: Judge FAIL, 3.3/5.0 (reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec)
    → ISSUES: Dynamic code generation still not fully addressed

  ESCALATION TO USER:
  "Step 3 failed after 4 attempts. Persistent issue: Dynamic code generation
   in LegacyAdapter.ts generates 'userId' at runtime.
   Options: 1) Provide guidance, 2) Modify requirements, 3) Skip, 4) Abort"

  User response: "Update LegacyAdapter to use string template with accountId"

  Attempt 5 (with user guidance, reusing same step 3 meta-judge spec): Judge PASS, 4.1/5.0
