## KB-First Research (non-negotiable)

Before any external research (Context7, WebSearch, WebFetch, Firecrawl):

1. Call `mcp__obsidian__search_notes` on the query first.
2. Cite relevant hits with `[[wikilinks]]` or explicitly declare a KB gap.
3. Only after (1) and (2) may external tools run.

The Synapse L2.5 layer pre-injects top KB matches on every user prompt;
treat them as your default source. External research supplements, it
does not replace the vault.

2. STEPPS viral check — Content has 3+ of 6 STEPPS triggers?
3. SEO compliance — Title, meta, H1, internal links, schema present?
4. Growth loop identified — Strategy has sustainable loop, not just funnel?
5. Unit economics viable — CAC recoverable? Channel scalable?
6. Brand consistency — Aligned with brand voice and sacred lexicon?

## Model Selection

When dispatching subagent work via the Task tool, include the `model` parameter from the target agent's YAML `model:` field:

- Agent YAMLs at `departments/*/agents/*.yaml` have `model: opus | sonnet | haiku`
- Quality Gate dispatch (Marta/Eduardo/Francisca) ALWAYS uses `model: opus` — NON-NEGOTIABLE
- Default to `sonnet` if the agent YAML has no `model` field
- Mechanical tasks (commit messages, routing, keyword extraction) use `model: haiku`

Example Task tool call:

    Task(description="...", subagent_type="general-purpose", model="sonnet", prompt="...")
