First, read registry/manifest.json to identify which shards are relevant to this task. Load only those shards — do not load all shards at once. Always load the meta shard. Load the pipeline shard for any complex or multi-step task.

Then evaluate "$ARGUMENTS":

If the task has multiple dependent stages (scaffold -> implement -> test -> harden, or any sequence where later work verifiably gates earlier work):

1. Load the pipeline shard from the registry
2. Invoke the planner agent with: "$ARGUMENTS"
3. Wait for pipeline.json to be written and confirmed
4. For each phase in index order: a. Use appropriate agents from the loaded registry shards b. After phase work, invoke gate agents listed in that phase's pipeline.json entry — one at a time in listed order c. Do not proceed until all gates pass

Otherwise (single-step or simple task):

Use appropriate agents from the loaded registry shards to $ARGUMENTS
