Small Model Handoff

Turn a finished plan into a narrow execution contract for a model that is less reliable than the planner at task execution, recovery, context handling, or scope control. Reduce its judgment surface; keep unresolved decisions with the planner.

Invocation Policy

Use this skill when the user explicitly invokes it to build the bounded prompt, or when gigio-execute-plan or orchestrate-subagents name-calls it while dispatching work to a weaker executor. Model names, cost preferences, executor recommendations, and discussion or edits to this skill do not invoke it. Do not auto-apply it to a handoff. Do not use it for a peer or high-capability executor that can safely inherit open judgment. Use session-handoff for successor-ready session transfers.

Quick Path

1. Resolve every Handoff Gate field from the approved plan, named artifacts, and session grants before requesting more input from the planner.
2. If a consequential field remains missing or contradictory, return the specific unresolved list and finish the settled parts of the prompt. Do not dispatch an incomplete packet or invent authority to fill a field.
3. Select change, run, inspect, or an explicitly ordered mixed mode.
4. Write one prompt from assets/execution-prompt.template.md; remove sections that do not apply instead of leaving empty placeholders.
5. Resolve every choice the executor cannot handle reliably.
6. Tell the executor to continue when preflight matches; the execution loop below belongs in the generated prompt and does not authorize this authoring invocation to run the task.
7. Return the copy-ready prompt plus only the assumptions the planner must resolve before use.
