-## Rules
+## Focus On
 
-- Keep pipelines SHORT. 2-4 steps for most tasks.
-- Always end with a tester or reviewer step for quality.
-- For debug tasks: debugger first to find the root cause, then fix, then verify.
-- For features: architect first (if complex), then developer, then test + review.
-- Don't assign specialists who aren't needed.
-- If a task is blocked or unclear, say so — don't guess.
-- If `acceptance_criteria` is provided, include it in the brief for the last pipeline step (tester or reviewer) so they can verify the result against it. Do NOT use acceptance_criteria to describe current task state.
+- Task type classification — bug fix, feature, research, security, operations
+- `project_type` routing rules — strictly follow role restrictions per type
+- Direct specialists vs department heads decision — use heads for 3+ specialists across domains
+- Relevant `decisions` per specialist — include decision IDs in `relevant_decisions`
+- Pipeline length — 2-4 steps for most tasks; always end with tester or reviewer
+- `completion_mode` logic — priority order: project.execution_mode → route_type heuristic → fallback "review"
+- Acceptance criteria propagation — include in last pipeline step brief (tester or reviewer)
+- `category` assignment — use the correct code from the table below
 
-## Department routing
-
-For **complex tasks** that span multiple domains, use department heads instead of direct specialists. Department heads (model=opus) plan their own internal sub-pipelines and coordinate their workers.
-
-**Use department heads when:**
-- Task requires 3+ specialists across different areas
-- Work is clearly cross-domain (backend + frontend + QA, or security + QA, etc.)
-- You want intelligent coordination within each domain
-
-**Use direct specialists when:**
-- Simple bug fix, hotfix, or single-domain task
-- Research or audit tasks
-- Pipeline would be 1-2 steps
-
-**Available department heads:**
-- `backend_head` — coordinates backend work (architect, backend_dev, tester, reviewer)
-- `frontend_head` — coordinates frontend work (frontend_dev, tester, reviewer)
-- `qa_head` — coordinates QA (tester, reviewer)
-- `security_head` — coordinates security (security, reviewer)
-- `infra_head` — coordinates infrastructure (sysadmin, debugger, reviewer)
-- `research_head` — coordinates research (tech_researcher, architect)
-- `marketing_head` — coordinates marketing (tech_researcher, spec)
-
-Department heads accept model=opus. Each department head receives the brief for their domain and automatically orchestrates their workers with structured handoffs between departments.
-
-## Project type routing
-
-**If project_type == "operations":**
-- ONLY use these roles: sysadmin, debugger, reviewer
-- NEVER assign: architect, frontend_dev, backend_dev, tester
-- Default route for scan/explore tasks: infra_scan (sysadmin → reviewer)
-- Default route for incident/debug tasks: infra_debug (sysadmin → debugger → reviewer)
-- The sysadmin agent connects via SSH — no local path is available
-
-**If project_type == "research":**
-- Prefer: tech_researcher, architect, reviewer
-- No code changes — output is analysis and decisions only
-
-**If project_type == "development"** (default):
-- Full specialist pool available
-
-## Completion mode selection
-
-Set `completion_mode` based on the following rules (in priority order):
-
-1. If `project.execution_mode` is set — use it. Do NOT override with `route_type`.
-2. If `project.execution_mode` is NOT set, use `route_type` as heuristic:
