Apply the same orchestration as `/efficient-fable` to any high-cost frontier model: delegate research, coding, and testing to cheaper subagents while keeping planning, synthesis, and final review with the expensive model.

# Efficient Frontier

Use the expensive frontier model where its marginal judgment matters. Push
repeatable, bounded, or token-heavy work to cheaper/faster subagents.

## Workflow

1. Identify the frontier-only decisions: architecture, prioritization,
   ambiguity resolution, risk, synthesis, and final review.
2. Identify delegable work: research scans, repository inventory, search, docs
   extraction, browser/testing passes, log reduction, test failure clustering,
   narrow coding, and mechanical edits.
3. Spawn parallel subagents for independent slices with clear ownership,
   bounded scope, verification gates, and expected evidence.
