+## Haiku harvest tier (read-only, supervised)
+
+Cheap discovery for one question over a closed search space. Output is
+navigation: the orchestrator Reads what it relies on. Contract and
+supervision rules: `.claude/knowledge/tiered-agent-execution-protocol.md`
+§ Haiku harvest tier.
+
+### `harvest-scout`
+Finds candidates (`path:line` + matching line) for given patterns in given
+paths. Never concludes, never reports absence beyond a hit count.
+
+### `census-counter`
+Counts items in a named space; every count carries the command that produced
+it. Read-only Bash.
+
+### `quote-harvester`
+Returns verbatim text with line numbers for given ranges or symbols, and
+checks whether a cited quote is where a document says it is.
+
+### `substrate-mapper`
+Turns one bounded unit (module, crate `src/`, doc folder) into a fact map in
+one named file: items, verbatim signatures and doc lines, names each body
+mentions, candidate callers. The tool for outsourcing deep mapping.
+
+### `spec-editor`
+Applies exact (old, new) edits to one file, each only if its anchor occurs
+exactly once. The orchestrator writes every edit in full and reads the diff.
+
+### `guarded-executor`
+Runs a pre-written, numbered command card (cargo `-p ...`, probes) and writes
+one run-record. Never edits source, never fixes.

 ## How to pick the right agent
 
 Decision flow:
 
 1. **Session just started?** → `workspace-primer` first.
+   **Need a list, a count, a quote or a map of a closed space?** → a Haiku
+   card (`harvest-scout`, `census-counter`, `quote-harvester`,
+   `substrate-mapper`).
 2. **Problem needs 3+ specialists?** → `adk-coordinator` to frame.
 3. **Proposal adds a layer or makes claims without measurement?** →
    `truth-architect` is the mandatory reviewer; loop it in early.

+
+## Rules
+
+- Run only read-only commands: `grep -c`, `wc -l`, `ls`, `find` without
+  `-delete` or `-exec`, `awk` or `cut` for counting columns, the Read tool.
+  Never write, move or delete a file. Never run cargo, git or a build command.
+- Every number you report comes with the exact command that produced it, so
+  the orchestrator can re-run it. A number without its command is not allowed.
+- Report raw numbers. No percentages unless the brief asks; no rounding; no
+  "about".
+- Never interpret ("this means X is rare", "most of them are Y"). If a count
+  looks surprising, add one line under `anomalies:` stating the raw fact
+  (for example, "3 rows have 11 columns, header has 12").
+- A count over a space you could not read completely is reported as
+  `PARTIAL` with the unread paths listed.
+
+## Brief you must receive (stop if any item is missing)
+

+   already set them. Never create a worktree, a clone or a second target dir.
+   `No space left on device` is a STOP.
+6. Your only write is `.claude/board/exec-runs/<task-slug>.txt`, in the
+   run-record format of the protocol. Never touch `AGENT_LOG.md` or any other
+   board file. Your reply is a copy of that run-record.
+7. Never explain why something failed and never try to fix it.
