Pick Workflow

Authoring-time judge for a skill/agent's execution topology: how steps run (linear vs fan-out, which mechanism, where the seam falls). Emits a design — never runs the task. Model+effort per step is a separate call, delegated (Step 5). Own the topology decision here; don't re-derive the mechanism table or the sharding rules anywhere else.

When: authoring or challenging a skill/agent · parallel-vs-linear · which delegation mechanism.

Steps

1. Decompose — fill the table FIRST (it IS the analysis; no recommending before it exists)
